Explanation

Switching from predictive to adaptive fundamentally changes how quality is defined, planned, and ensured. In a predictive approach, quality is planned upfront with formal QA/QC phases, inspections, and documentation-heavy processes. In an adaptive approach, quality is built into each iteration through practices like test-driven development (TDD), acceptance criteria per user story, continuous integration, and automated testing. The entire philosophy of quality shifts from 'inspect at the end' to 'build quality in continuously.' While other plans may need updates, the quality management plan requires the most significant rethinking of approach, tools, and metrics.
