Development Approach

The selected way to build and progressively enhance the product, service, or result across the project life cycle, such as using predictive, iterative, incremental, agile, or a hybrid mix.

Key Points

  • Defines how work is planned, executed, and adapted to create the deliverable.
  • Can be predictive, iterative, incremental, agile, or a hybrid tailored to context.
  • Influences scope planning, scheduling, estimating, governance, and risk management.
