What is hybrid lifecycle?

Hybrid lifecycle — is an approach to project management that combines elements of traditional (waterfall) and agile (flexible) life cycles. This approach allows for structured planning and control from classical methodologies while also implementing the flexibility and adaptability characteristic of agile.

For example, in the initial stages of a project, detailed planning and requirements definition may be conducted (as in waterfall), followed by iterative implementation and testing with regular releases and feedback from the client (as in agile). This helps better manage risks and changes while maintaining control over deadlines and budgets.
