Changing requirements and the incorporation of new requirement for each phase

Question 19

In regards to flexibility what does a hybrid cycle allow for and what for it make it ?

Answer 19

A hybrid cycle allows for the benefit of both a linear and iterative lifecycle making It more flexible than a linear lifecycle but more structured than an iterative lifecycle

Question 20

What does the iterative components allow the project team to do in a hybrid lifecycle ?

Answer 20

The iterative components allow the project team to iterate and refine the product in response to feedback

Question 21

What does the linear components In hybrid lifecycle ensure ?

Answer 21

The linear components ensure that there is control and structure throughout the development process

Question 22

What does a hybrid strike a balance between ?

Answer 22

It strikes a balance between control and flexibility

Question 23

In regard lifecycle what kind of approach does a linear lifecycle take , how is it structured and what does it put emphasis on ?

Answer 23

A linear cycle takes a sequential approach , it is highly
Structures with emphasis on planning and documentation

Question 24

What happens with information and control in the lie at lifecycle and when ?

Answer 24

Information and control is passed onto the next phase once the pre-defined milestones have been reached

Question 25

In regards to lifecycle what approach does a iterative lifecycle have ?

Answer 25

An iterative lifecycle takes an incremental approach

Question 26

In a iterative lifecycle what may be repeated and why and how ?

Answer 26

One or two phases may be repeated with the aim of managing uncertainty of scope by allowing evolving objectives as more Learning and discovery takes place

Question 27

What is an iterative lifecycle best suited for and what it is commonly used for ?

Answer 27

An iterative lifecycle is best suited for complex projects with high uncertainty and evolving scope and is commonly used in avails projects

Question 28

In regards to lifecycle what does a hybrid lifecycle combine and how and what does this enable ?

Answer 28

The structured approach of a linear lifecycle with the iterative approach of an iterative lifecycle by adding iterations to a one at lifecycle enabling a pragmatic mix of approaches

Question 29

I’m regards to lifecycle What is a hybrid lifecycle best suited for ?

Answer 29

It beat suite for projects with changing requirement and a need for flexibility

Question 30

What does adding iterative elements to a predictive phase enhance ?
