_______.
iterative and incremental delivery, upfront planning with high predictability
high certainty, projects with unstable scope
high uncertainty, projects with unknown requirements
known and stable scope, unknown requirements
projects with high predictability, project with unknown or unstable requirements
Agile project management, by its very nature, entails incremental delivery in which an iteration
produces and delivers a new piece of functionality of the product to the customer. The incremental
delivery takes place throughout the project. Traditional project management should be employed
whenever project scope and technology are well known and stable implying predictability.

Iterative and incremental delivery means ______.
the project uses the traditional method of project management
the entire project product or service is delivered all at once at the end of the project
the project documentation is completed and delivered after each milestone
the components or features of the project product or service are delivered one at a time
throughout the duration of the project
product functionality is delivered all at once at the end of the project
The word ‘delivery’ refers to how the product is delivered to the customer. The agile project method
delivers the product one piece at a time for the customer to review and does this throughout the
project. This method of delivery accommodates a customer who does not know exactly what he
wants but will know it when he sees it. The traditional project method delivers all of the product at
the end of the project; there is no opportunity for feedback from the customer.
