Exam CAPM topic 1 question 440 discussion

The key clues in the question are: "Long term goals" → implies a focus on planning ahead and stability. "Repetitive solutions" → suggests work that is well-understood, repeatable, and not rapidly changing. This environment is best suited for a predictive (also known as Waterfall) methodology, which: Involves extensive upfront planning, Works well when requirements are clear and stable, Focuses on long-term deliverables and repeatable processes. Why the others are less suitable: A. Iterative: Good for refining a product through repeated cycles, but not ideal for long-term, repetitive solutions. B. Hybrid: Combines Agile and Predictive, but there's no indication the organization needs this complexity or agility. D. Agile: Prioritizes short-term flexibility and adaptability, which contrasts with the long-term, predictable, and repetitive nature described.

Predictive methodology prioritizes long-term goals. Predictive methodologies are well-suited for projects with clearly defined objectives and deliverables, which often align with long-term organizational goals. Repetitive solutions: Predictive approaches excel in projects that involve well-understood processes and repeatable tasks, allowing for efficient planning and execution.

Agile - When an organization’s annual report indicates the need for a new strategy that prioritizes long-term goals and repetitive solutions, the most suitable project methodology to consider is Agile. Agile methodologies are designed to address projects with evolving requirements and the need for adaptability.

New strategy long term goals can be Agile while working towards that goal with changing requirements

A -No - cycles of development and refinement B - No - requires a base D - No Here, the scenario focuses on a long-term strategy with clear goals
