| 2. | Assume you work in an organization that is well-steeped in a Linear and Incremental SDPM strategy. What arguments would you put forward to get your organization to adopt an Iterative SDPM strategy? An Adaptive SDPM strategy? Be specific. |
| 3. | Assume you work in an organization that is well-steeped in Linear, Incremental, and Iterative SDPM Strategies. What arguments would you put forward to get your organization to adopt an Adaptive or Extreme SDPM strategy? Be specific. |
