DAF Foundations OF Agile Practice Question
Your team needs to balance the 'Adaptive' vs 'Predictive' lifecycle. Which criteria should you prioritize when making this choice?
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
✓
The level of uncertainty and risk in the project
DA encourages choosing a lifecycle based on factors like technical complexity, team size, and uncertainty, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The tenure of the team members
Why it's wrong here
While helpful, it is not the primary driver for lifecycle selection.
- ✗
The total budget allocated to the project
Why it's wrong here
Budget is a constraint, not a determinant of the delivery lifecycle.
- ✓
The level of uncertainty and risk in the project
Why this is correct
High uncertainty necessitates an adaptive approach to manage the risk.
- ✗
The seniority of the stakeholders
Why it's wrong here
Stakeholder seniority does not dictate the appropriate work lifecycle.
