Answer


C:
Agile Life Cycle is correct. It is an approach that is both iterative and incremental to refine work items and deliver frequently. One of the tailoring guidelines within the agile approach when you have very large project temas involves restructuring large projects as multiple smaller projects. Considering reducing the team down to its critical core members may help because quite often, too many people hinder a process, not help it. Reducing a team size can reduce churn as well as costs.
