Agile Life Cycle

An adaptive way of running a project in short, repeating cycles that deliver small increments of value, invite change based on frequent feedback, and emphasize tight stakeholder collaboration; essentially the same concept as the adaptive life cycle.

Key Points

  • Work is delivered in small, timeboxed iterations with frequent releases.
  • Plans are refined continuously as feedback and priorities evolve.
  • Scope stays flexible while time and cost per iteration are often fixed.
  • Strong, ongoing collaboration among stakeholders and self-organizing teams.

Example

A software team runs two-week sprints, delivering a shippable feature each cycle. The product owner reorders the backlog after every review to incorporate user feedback and shifting business needs, allowing the project to adapt quickly.

PMP Example Question

A sponsor expects requirements to evolve and wants usable features released every two weeks with frequent reprioritization. Which life cycle should the project manager choose?

  1. Predictive (waterfall) life cycle
  2. Iterative-only life cycle
  3. Agile (adaptive) life cycle
  4. Hybrid predictive–agile life cycle

Correct Answer: C — Agile life cycle

Explanation: Rapid, incremental delivery with frequent feedback and changing priorities aligns best with an adaptive/agile life cycle.
