In this episode you will learn:

- The PMP exam is split roughly 50/50 between predictive (Waterfall) and adaptive/hybrid (Agile) methodologies.

- Predictive approaches are best for projects with stable, well-defined requirements and a low tolerance for change.

- Adaptive approaches are designed for projects where requirements are uncertain, evolving, and require frequent stakeholder feedback.

- Hybrid models blend predictive and adaptive methods to manage projects with both stable and uncertain components.

- Correctly identifying the project's methodology in an exam question is the key to selecting the right next step or tool.
