Question 29 of 61 in Explain when it is appropriate to use an adaptive approach

Pick an answer below — you'll get the explanation instantly, no signup.

An organization runs 100 projects annually. After analysis, 60% are software development with uncertain requirements; 30% are infrastructure construction with detailed specs; 10% are internal process improvements with moderate uncertainty. What methodology recommendation is MOST appropriate at an organizational level?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: Develop a methodology selection framework where software/uncertain projects use adaptive, infrastructure uses predictive, and process improvements use hybrid or adaptive depending on novelty

Explanation

A portfolio-level approach requires matching methodology to project characteristics. Mandating one approach for all projects ignores the different needs of different project types. A methodology selection framework that guides teams to appropriate methods — with appropriate governance for each — allows the organization to be both agile (where needed) and rigorous (where needed) without imposing unnecessary constraints.
