The adaptive life cycle (C) is recommended for a rapidly changing environment. It divides a project into small iterations so requirements can be changed between iterations as needed. Customers can request changes to requirements that have not been implemented yet. This allows the project scope and requirements to adapt more easily to changes than predictive or iterative life cycles for environments where requirements are difficult to define upfront.

Sample Q & A

2. Which of the following methods is recommended in a rapidly changing environment?
A. Predictive life cycle
B. Iterative life cycle
C. Adaptive life cycle
D. Fully plan-driven
HINT: What does "adaptive" mean?
QUESTION:

3. The correct answer is C.
In a rapidly changing environment, where requirements are difficult to define in advance, the adaptive
method divides and distributes the project scope and requirements into small iterations.
Customers and other stakeholders can raise changes to scope or requirements that have not been started
in the current iteration.
So this life cycle is often recommended in such environment. While the predictive or fully plan-driven life
cycle is often preferred when the product is well-understood, and the iterative life cycle does not stress
short iterations.
