PMI 1.1a Project Lifecycle Types Quiz

Which project life cycle is characterized by all requirements being defined upfront and work proceeding in sequential phases?

• Iterative

• Incremental

• Agile (Adaptive)

What is the main feature of the Iterative project life cycle?

• All requirements are defined upfront

• The project is built through repeated cycles, refining the product with each cycle

• Usable portions of the product are delivered in increments

• Requirements and solutions evolve through cross-functional teams

Which project life cycle is best suited for a project where requirements and user needs may change based on feedback during development?

• Predictive (Waterfall)

• Iterative

• Incremental

• Agile (Adaptive)
