guide project management activities.
20. What is a business case? A documented economic feasibility study used to
establish validity of the benefits of a selected component.
21. What is the difference between project and product life cycles? A
project life cycle spans from project initiation to closure, while a product life

22. What is a predictive life cycle? A project life cycle where scope, time, and
cost are determined early in the project (also called waterfall).
23. What is an adaptive life cycle? A project life cycle that is iterative or
incremental, allowing for frequent changes (also called agile or change-driven).
24. What is an incremental life cycle? A life cycle where deliverables are
produced through a series of iterations that successively add functionality.
25. What is an iterative life cycle? A life cycle where project phases repeat
one or more project activities as understanding increases.
26. What is a hybrid life cycle? A combination of predictive and adaptive life
cycles.
27. What are enterprise environmental factors (EEFs)? Conditions not under
the control of the project team that influence, constrain, or direct the project.
, 28. What are organizational process assets (OPAs)? Plans, processes,
