Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Agile methodology
Agile allows iterative delivery and flexible scope adjustments within a fixed budget, making it ideal for projects with changing requirements and fluctuating demand in a hybrid cloud environment. Option A is wrong because Waterfall is rigid and does not accommodate changes well, which would struggle with the dynamic demand. Option C is wrong because Lean focuses on waste reduction and efficiency, not specifically on managing scope changes. Option D is wrong because PRINCE2 is a structured methodology that can be less adaptive to frequent changes compared to Agile.
