Explanation
In a predictive (waterfall) project management approach, the project lifecycle is defined upfront and governed by established organizational methodology. The PM does not selectively choose which processes to follow-the organizational process assets dictate which processes are required and which deliverables must be produced. Option A (current phase only) describes rolling wave planning, which is more iterative in nature. Option B (team discussion) may happen, but it doesn't define the approach in a predictive model. Option C (integrating hybrid processes) contradicts the predictive-only constraint. Following the organizational methodology ensures governance, consistency, and compliance-core expectations of a predictive approach.
