Selected Answer: D
I would go with D. Because there is a already a date specified to enforce the regulation and also because the regulation requirements are only known at a very high level.

I believe B (iterative) is the best approach here. You are given a release date to meet the regulation (single delivery), but the scope is unclear, so you keep correcting the scope and iterating on it until it is correct or meets the law.

if the iteration is 2 weeks or 4 weeks, then who would review the increment to give feedback, we cant expect the government to bring clarity in 2 weeks or 4 weeks right? then it cant be iterative

D. Since the scenario tell that its government regulation it should be predictive but since stated in scenario that changes might happen, approach should be embedded with agile. So hybrid (Predictive + Agile).

I would go with C. As the date of enforcement is not directly related to any project dates. But changing requirements definitely calls for Agility

A Hybrid Approach is often applied as follows: Predictive for clear/known parts and Adaptive for unclear part (uncertainty). With the given information in the Questions, we just know that "there is uncertainty", "a Date/Deadline is fixed". There is NO INFORMATION OR HINT regarding "Known parts" ==> Is there any other reason for option D????? ==> Should C best matched with the given information?

I found the hint and convincible reason myself for option D. It said "Company must implement REGULATION". Regulation requirement is a must, we must adhere to it => a hint of FIXED SCOPE. And Fixed Date => We cannot fully use Agile where SCOPE is not fixed. ==> We just can use some components of Agile to deal with uncertainty. ==> HYBRID Approach is best option now. (Really tricky question)

Selected Answer: D
Chose D. Partly because its government and they tend to be more waterfall type, but with the new unclear requirement, they can implement more agile up to a certain point. Second, since there is some guidance out there, prefer to be hybrid.
