What is a hybrid approach?

• A. Combines predictive and adaptive
• B. Uses only predictive methods
• C. Uses only adaptive methods
• D. Avoids change control

Answer: (A)

A hybrid approach blends predictive and adaptive methods to tailor project delivery. It uses predictive, plan-driven techniques for areas where requirements are well understood and a stable baseline is valuable, while applying adaptive, iterative practices for parts of the project that are uncertain or likely to change. This lets teams preserve governance, schedules, and budget control where needed while embracing rapid feedback, incremental delivery, and flexibility where beneficial. Change control remains part of the process, because both the predictable and flexible parts of the project still require managing adjustments. In short, it combines the strengths of both approaches rather than sticking to one exclusively.
