Question

Options

• ACollocated project teams
• BUse of established templates
• CMany expected simple scope change requests
• DFew expected simple scope change requests
• ERoutine and repetitive activities

• A
  2% (1)
• B
  92% (47)
• C
  6% (3)

Explanation

Linear (predictive/waterfall) delivery is characterized by well-defined scope upfront and structured, repeatable work. Use of established templates (B) is typical because traditional projects follow standardized, documented processes. Few expected simple scope change requests (D) reflects the predictive nature - scope is fully defined at the start and change is deliberately minimized. Routine and repetitive activities (E) suit a linear approach because the work is predictable enough to plan sequentially. Collocated teams (A) are not specific to linear delivery - both agile and traditional teams can be collocated. Many scope changes (C) is the opposite of linear delivery's defining trait.
