Which of the following conditions should the project manager consider when working on the scheduling for an adaptive environment?

Question

Options

• ADefining sequencing, estimating activity durations, and developing a schedule model are so tightly linked that they are viewed as a single process.
• BThe detailed project schedule should remain flexible throughout the project to accommodate newly gained knowledge.
• CAn iterative scheduling and on-demand, pull-based scheduling will be required.
• DTo address the full delivery schedule, a range of techniques may be needed and then need to be adapted.

• A
  5% (1)
• B
  5% (1)
• C
  91% (20)

Explanation

In adaptive (Agile) environments, scheduling uses two primary techniques: iterative scheduling (work is planned and executed in fixed-length cycles called sprints or iterations) and on-demand, pull-based scheduling (team members pull work from a backlog as capacity allows, as in Kanban). These approaches replace the rigid, fully-defined upfront schedule used in predictive environments. Option A describes a characteristic of predictive environments where planning steps are tightly coupled. Option B (keeping the schedule flexible) is partially true but too vague. Option D describes a hybrid or multi-methodology environment rather than a purely adaptive one.
