Exam CAPM topic 1 question 325 discussion

keyword "plan reviewed & approved" which = Predictive or waterfall

Why the other options are incorrect: A. ❌ Uses flexible, evolving plans—requirements and solutions emerge through collaboration. Stakeholders don’t approve a detailed upfront plan. B. ❌ Focuses on refining and revisiting the product over cycles—plans evolve, and stakeholder approval happens incrementally. C. ❌ Delivers work in small usable pieces—the plan develops over time, with frequent stakeholder feedback.

D. Predictive Explanation: Predictive project life cycle is characterized by a detailed plan created upfront, reviewed, and approved by stakeholders before the project begins. This approach is often used for projects with well-defined requirements and low levels of uncertainty.   Let's briefly look at the other options: Adaptive: This life cycle is flexible and adjusts to changes throughout the project.   Iterative: This life cycle involves repeated cycles of design, development, and testing.   Incremental: This life cycle delivers the project in smaller increments or portions.   None of these options emphasize a detailed, pre-approved plan like the predictive life cycle does.
