A team member says 'We can't use agile because our client requires a fixed delivery date.' What is the BEST response?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: Explain that adaptive approaches are compatible with fixed delivery dates — the date is fixed, but scope is managed adaptively to maximize value delivered by that date

Explanation

Fixed delivery dates are fully compatible with adaptive approaches. In fact, adaptive methods handle fixed dates better than predictive: when the date is fixed and scope may not be fully deliverable, adaptive prioritization ensures the highest-value items are delivered first. If time runs short, lower-priority items are deferred — not the entire product. The team commits to the date; the product owner prioritizes to maximize value within it.
