The document outlines four project management lifecycle approaches: predictive, iterative, incremental, and agile. Each approach is illustrated with cooking analogies to convey how products are developed and delivered, ranging from a complete meal served at once to customizable dishes based on customer feedback. The iterative and incremental methods emphasize continuous refinement and adaptability throughout the development process.

1. Project
Management
LifeCycle

2. It is like cooking & serving a combo
meal on the table. The product is
usually delivered in one go.
1- Predictive Life Cycle

3. 2- Iterative Life Cycle
It is like cooking a new recipe and
tasting it at each stage of
preparation before it’s ready to serve.
The product is refined continuously
based on customer feedback and is
delivered as a complete product.

4. It is like cooking a three course meal.
The dish is served on the table in a
sequence like a starter & soup followed
up by the main course & desserts. The
product is delivered in consumable
form and can’t be changed on customer
demand.
3- Incremental Life Cycle

5. It is like serving a scoop of ice-cream that
can be customized as per customer's
demand such as adding chocolate syrup,
nuts, fruits, etc. It’s a mix of Iterative &
Incremental where the product is
delivered in consumable form and can be
changed on customer demand.
4- Agile or Adaptive
