I would go with D. Because there is a already a date specified to enforce the regulation and also because the regulation requirements are only known at a very high level.

I believe B (iterative) is the best approach here. You are given a release date to meet the regulation (single delivery), but the scope is unclear, so you keep correcting the scope and iterating on it until it is correct or meets the law.

if the iteration is 2 weeks or 4 weeks, then who would review the increment to give feedback, we cant expect the government to bring clarity in 2 weeks or 4 weeks right? then it cant be iterative

Selected Answer: B
Option B is correct Since the regulation’s details are still unclear, an iterative approach allows the team to refine their understanding and implementation in cycles as more guidance emerges. Others not suitable because : Predictive (A): Rigid for changing rules Agile (C): For customer products, not compliance Hybrid (D): Needs stable elements (none here)

In my opinion I believe the iterative approach (B) will best suit this situation considering the fact that they were provided high level info on the regulation and need immediate execution due to the importance of the regulationA company must implement a new regulation. The government has specified the date when the regulation will be enforced but has only provided high-level information on the regulation's requirements.

Selected Answer: D
D. Since the scenario tell that its government regulation it should be predictive but since stated in scenario that changes might happen, approach should be embedded with agile. So hybrid (Predictive + Agile).

I would go with C. As the date of enforcement is not directly related to any project dates. But changing requirements definitely calls for Agility
