What is adaptive lifecycle?

Adaptive lifecycle is an approach to project lifecycle management that involves flexible adaptation of processes and development methods depending on current conditions and requirements. Unlike traditional (waterfall) models, adaptive lifecycle focuses on iteration, continuous feedback, and the ability to make changes at any stage.

Main characteristics:

• Iterative cycles with regular releases.
• Active involvement of the customer and stakeholders.
• Flexibility in planning and changing requirements.
• Rapid response to external changes.

An example of adaptive lifecycle is the Agile methodology, where the team constantly adapts the plan and product based on new data and feedback.

This approach is especially useful in conditions of high uncertainty and rapidly changing requirements.
