What type of life cycle is used when scope details become clearer with each phase?

  1. Predictive Life Cycle

  2. Overlapping Phases

  3. Iterative or Incremental Life Cycle

  4. Adaptive or Agile Life Cycle

The correct answer is: Iterative or Incremental Life Cycle

An iterative or incremental life cycle is best suited for when scope details become clearer with each phase. This is because this type of life cycle allows for adjustments and refinements to be made throughout the project, allowing for changes in scope to be incorporated as needed. The other options, while they may have some level of adaptability, are not specifically designed for this purpose. A predictive life cycle follows a strictly defined plan and may not allow for changes in scope without significant delays or disruption to the project. An overlapping phases approach may allow for some flexibility, but it is not specifically designed for adjusting scope details. An adaptive or agile life cycle may allow for changes in scope, but it is designed for more frequent and significant changes rather than incremental adjustments. Therefore, C is the best answer for this question.
