Explanation

When an organization operates in a highly dynamic environment with frequent innovation and changing conditions - making long-term planning difficult - a predictive (waterfall) approach is inappropriate because it assumes stable requirements and predictable outcomes. Agile approaches are designed for exactly this scenario: they embrace change, use iterative cycles, allow for continuous re-evaluation of risks, and adapt as new information emerges. Agile risk management integrates risk activities into each iteration rather than trying to predict all risks upfront, making it far better suited to volatile, uncertain environments like this mining company.
