Kavya Brandt at Basalt Digital is managing a website redesign project with evolving requirements. The customer provides feedback after each sprint, and the team adapts the design accordingly. What type of approach is Kavya using?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: Adaptive approach, because requirements evolve and customer feedback shapes the deliverables

Explanation

An adaptive approach is characterized by iterative development where requirements evolve based on customer feedback and changing needs. The project responds to change rather than following a fixed plan, which is exactly what Kavya's project demonstrates with evolving requirements and customer feedback after each sprint.

**Why not A:** A predictive approach determines scope, schedule, and cost early with changes carefully managed. Kavya's project features evolving requirements and customer feedback shaping deliverables after each sprint, which is characteristic of an adaptive approach, not a predictive one.

**Why not B:** A hybrid approach combines elements of both predictive and adaptive methodologies. Kavya's project shows purely adaptive characteristics — evolving requirements and customer feedback driving sprint-by-sprint adaptation — without any predictive elements described in the scenario.

**Why not C:** A waterfall approach is a sequential, phase-based method where each phase completes before the next begins. While sprints are sequential, Kavya's project features evolving requirements and customer-driven adaptation, which contradicts the waterfall model's fixed requirements and sequential phases.
