Which scenario is best suited for an Agile approach?

A project with a well-defined scope that is unlikely to change

A project where the customer needs to see working functionality early and often

A project that requires all requirements to be gathered and approved before any development starts

A project with a fixed budget and a strict, non-negotiable delivery date

A government agency is replacing its legacy tax-processing system. The requirements are fully documented in a 500-page specification, the budget is fixed, and the delivery date is mandated by law. The project manager needs a predictable schedule with clear phase gates. Which approach and communication method should be used?

Waterfall with milestone reviews and formal status reports

Waterfall with daily stand-ups and sprint retrospectives

Agile with sprint demos to the agency

Agile with daily stand-ups and a product backlog

A company is developing a mobile app for a new product line. The marketing team wants to launch on a fixed date tied to a trade show, but the product features are still being defined based on beta user feedback. The development team is experienced with both Agile and Waterfall. The project manager must choose a methodology that supports the fixed launch date while accommodating evolving features. Which approach best reconciles these constraints?

Agile with an open-ended timeline until all features are complete

Agile with a fixed release date and a prioritized backlog that can be trimmed to meet the deadline

Waterfall with a complete requirements freeze before development

Waterfall with a compressed schedule and daily stand-ups
