Adaptive Life Cycle

A type of project life cycle that delivers outcomes through repeated cycles and incremental builds.

Key Points

  • Work is planned and delivered in short iterations, enabling frequent inspection and adaptation.
  • Best suited for environments with evolving or unclear requirements and high uncertainty.
  • Stakeholders provide regular feedback, and scope can emerge or change as the product evolves.
  • Value is released early and often, reducing risk and improving alignment with business needs.

Example

A team developing a new customer portal runs two-week iterations. Each cycle they plan, build, test, and demo a small set of features, gather stakeholder feedback, and adjust the backlog for the next iteration, gradually expanding the portal’s capabilities.

PMP Example Question

A project has shifting requirements and the sponsor wants usable features delivered early with frequent feedback. Which life cycle should the project manager choose?

  1. Predictive life cycle with a single, detailed upfront plan and scope baseline
  2. Adaptive life cycle that delivers in short iterations and incremental releases
  3. Hybrid life cycle with fixed scope and predictive delivery across all phases
  4. Phase-gate life cycle emphasizing strict change control before each gate

Correct Answer: B — Adaptive life cycle (iterative/incremental delivery)

Explanation: An adaptive approach delivers value in small increments, welcomes feedback each cycle, and is ideal when requirements are likely to evolve.
