The correct answer is A. The approach selected for business analysis should be driven by value creation. Teams should choose predictive, adaptive, or hybrid approaches based on the initiative’s context, stakeholder needs, uncertainty, risk, and the best way to deliver value. Option B is incorrect because hybrid approaches are not selected merely to combine metrics; they are selected when the work benefits from both predictive and adaptive characteristics. Option C is incomplete because adaptive approaches are useful when learning and incremental delivery are needed, not simply to sequence work. Option D is wrong because ill-defined work usually favors adaptive exploration, not a strict predictive approach. The best general rule is to choose the approach that maximizes value.
