Predictive Life Cycle

A conventional, plan-driven model where most planning is done upfront and the project is executed once through orderly, sequential phases to deliver the full scope.

Key Points

  • Emphasizes extensive upfront planning followed by linear execution.
  • Work progresses through distinct, sequential phases with limited overlap.
  • Scope, schedule, and cost are baselined early; changes require formal control.
  • Best suited to stable requirements and well-understood technologies.

Example

A regulated construction project where requirements are fixed, detailed designs are completed before building begins, and the product is delivered in a single final release.

PMP Example Question

A project has stable requirements, strict compliance needs, and will deliver the product only once at the end. Which life cycle should the project manager choose?

  1. Predictive life cycle
  2. Iterative life cycle
  3. Incremental life cycle
  4. Agile adaptive life cycle

Correct Answer: A — Plan-driven, sequential life cycle

Explanation: Stable scope and a single final release favor a predictive approach with heavy upfront planning and sequential execution.
