Q

What are the features of the Lienar Lifecycle?

A

•Sequential with clearly defined outputs.

•For stable, low-risk projects with structured phases.

•Clear framework, early requirement definition.

•Maximum control and governance.

•Info passed to next phase after milestones met.

Q

What are the features of the Iterative lifecycle?

A

•Repeats one/more phases.

•Good for vague scope or unclear solutions.

•Agile use; allows iterative learning.

•Team adjusts based on staged delivery results.

Q

What are the features of the Hybrid Lifecycle?

A

•Mixes linear and iterative styles.

•Teams choose best approach for the project.

•Iteration can add functionality post-deployment.

Q

Why are projects structured as a phased linear lifecycle?

A

•Clarifies priorities and focuses on current work.

Q

Name the stages of the linear lifecycle?

A

Concept:
• Confirm need/opportunity.
• Capture requirements, stakeholders, benefits.
• Draft Business Case.

Definition:
• Refine solution and scope.
• Plan time/cost/quality.
• Create PMP and Deployment Baseline.

Deployment:
• Build, test, deliver.
• Monitor progress and adjust.
• Finalise design.

Transition:
• Test acceptance.
• Handover to users.
• Close project.

Adoption:
• Users apply outputs to daily work.
• Overcome resistance.
• Embed new ways.

Benefits Realisation:
• Monitor outcomes = benefits.
• Regular reviews.
• Support user success.

Q

Name the stages of the iterative cycle?

A

1.Pre-Project: Check it’s the right project before starting.

2.Feasibility: Is it possible and worth doing?

3.Foundations: Rough plan: what, why, and how we’ll do it.

4.Evolutionary Development:
Build in small steps, test often, get feedback.
(Use timeboxes + prioritise what’s most important.)

5.Deployment:
Release working parts of the solution.
Could be all at once or bit by bit.

6.Post-Project:
Check if it worked and delivered benefits.

Q

Name the stages of the hybrid lifecycle?

A

•Combines linear and iterative models.

•Use iterative approach during Definition for evolving requirements.

•Use incremental Deployment (e.g. Tranches 1, 2, 3).

•Suited to complex projects needing both structure and flexibility.
