A product manager cannot fully specify what the new mobile app should do — she knows the general direction but expects to learn more as users interact with prototypes. Which approach is MOST appropriate?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: Adaptive — develop iteratively, using user feedback from each iteration to refine the next

Explanation

When the product vision is known but specific requirements will emerge through user feedback and prototype testing, an adaptive approach is ideal. Each iteration delivers a working increment, gathers user feedback, and incorporates that learning into the next iteration. This deliberate discovery process is more effective than attempting to specify requirements upfront when the knowledge doesn't yet exist.
