The iterative nature of adaptive approaches primarily helps manage which type of project risk?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: Requirements risk — the risk of building the wrong product

Explanation

The greatest risk adaptive approaches address is requirements risk: building a product that doesn't meet user needs. By delivering and reviewing working increments frequently, teams get early feedback on whether they are building the right thing. This enables course correction before investing the full project budget in the wrong direction — something predictive approaches discover only at the end.
