Correct answer & explanation
✓
Create a high-level plan early and elaborate as work progresses.
In a hybrid agile project, creating a high-level plan early and elaborating as work progresses allows the team to satisfy the organization's need for upfront planning while maintaining an agile approach by embracing change and iterative refinement. Option A is incorrect because ignoring organizational requirements could lead to lack of support or compliance issues. Option C is incorrect because using fully predictive planning contradicts agile principles. Option D is incorrect because it requires a detailed plan upfront, which is not adaptive, and only revising at the end is too inflexible.
