Episode 08: Project Life Cycles: Predictive, Agile & Hybrid Explained @YourResourcePerson

Welcome to Episode 08 of the PMP Prep Series 2025 by Farhan Yousaf — The Resource Person. In this session, we break down one of the most important concepts for the PMP® Exam: Project Life Cycles — Predictive, Agile, and Hybrid. Understanding these life cycle types is critical because 50% of PMP exam questions test how you think in both Predictive and Agile environments. The exam expects you to recognize the context and choose the action that aligns with the delivery approach used in the scenario. 💡 What You Will Learn In this video, we clearly explain: ✅ Predictive (Plan-Based / Waterfall) Used when requirements are clear and stable Work is done in sequential phases Value is usually delivered at the end Common in construction, engineering, regulated environments ✅ Agile (Change-Based / Iterative & Incremental) Used when requirements evolve or feedback is needed early Work is delivered in short cycles (sprints/iterations) Value is delivered throughout the project Common in software, product innovation, startups ✅ Hybrid (Mix of Predictive + Agile) Used when different parts of the same project require different approaches Example: Hardware (Predictive) + Software (Agile) Common in real-world organizations transitioning into Agile ❓ This Video Helps Answer: When should a project manager use Predictive instead of Agile? How do I know when a Hybrid model is the best fit? What clues in PMP® exam questions indicate the life cycle being used? How does value delivery differ between Predictive and Agile? How do teams handle change requests in each life cycle? Why does PMI emphasize flexibility and tailoring? 🧠 PMP® Exam Tip The exam often gives you clues: | If you see words like: | The approach is likely: | | Baseline, Change Control Board, Phase Gates | Predictive | | Sprints, Backlog, Iterations, Customer Feedback | Agile | | “Some parts fixed / some changing” or “mixed approach” | Hybrid | Always match your answer to the life cycle described — not your personal preference. 🧭 Related PMI Concepts Covered PMBOK® Life Cycle Guidance Value Delivery System Predictive vs Agile vs Hybrid Thinking Tailoring Strategy Stakeholder Engagement & Change Response 👨‍🏫 About The Resource Person Farhan Yousaf PMP®, CPMAI™, SAFe® 6 Agilist | PhD (Project Management) Scholar AI & Digital Transformation Leader 📧 Email: [email protected] 🔗 LinkedIn:   / meet-farhan   📺 Channel: The Resource Person
