Predictive Life Cycle

A conventional, plan-driven model where most planning is done upfront and the project is executed once through orderly, sequential phases to deliver the full scope.

Key Points

  • Emphasizes extensive upfront planning followed by linear execution.
  • Work progresses through distinct, sequential phases with limited overlap.
  • Scope, schedule, and cost are baselined early; changes require formal control.
  • Best suited to stable requirements and well-understood technologies.

Example

A regulated construction project where requirements are fixed, detailed designs are completed before building begins, and the product is delivered in a single final release.

  2. Iterative life cycle
  3. Incremental life cycle
  4. Agile adaptive life cycle

Correct Answer: A — Plan-driven, sequential life cycle

Explanation: Stable scope and a single final release favor a predictive approach with heavy upfront planning and sequential execution.
