A company wants to use an adaptive approach for a large enterprise software implementation. The software has been chosen (off-the-shelf ERP), most configuration is well-documented, and the timeline is fixed by contractual obligations. Is an adaptive approach appropriate?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: Partially — configuration of known modules could be predictive, but novel customizations might benefit from adaptive approaches

Explanation

This scenario calls for nuanced methodology selection. Known ERP configuration with documented steps suits a predictive approach. But custom development or novel integrations — where the right approach must be discovered — could benefit from adaptive methods. A hybrid approach often works best for ERP implementations: predictive for structured configuration, adaptive for discovery-heavy customizations.
