Chapter 24. Adaptive SDPM Strategy

It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link of the chain of destiny can be handled at a time.

—Winston Churchill

There is no data on the future.

—Laurel Cutler Vice Chairman, FCB/Leberf Katz Partners

Chapter Learning Objectives

After reading this chapter, you will be able to:

  • Explain the Adaptive SDPM strategy

  • Have a high-level understanding of the Adaptive Project Framework and Adaptive Software Development models

The Adaptive models accommodate a higher level of uncertainty and complexity than the Iterative models. In that sense they fill a void between the Iterative and Extreme models. Keep in mind that solution discovery is the focus of these models. Each iteration in the Adaptive models must address not only task completion for newly defined functions and features but also solution definition through function and feature discovery.
