What does the 'Plan-Do-Check-Act' cycle represent?

  1. A strategy for long-term project planning

  2. A work cycle focusing on small, iterative processes

  3. A method for evaluating team performance

  4. A framework for stakeholder engagement

The correct answer is: A work cycle focusing on small, iterative processes

The 'Plan-Do-Check-Act' (PDCA) cycle is fundamentally rooted in a process of continuous improvement and iterative development, which aligns closely with agile methodologies. The cycle emphasizes a systematic approach to problem-solving and project management through four main stages: planning an initiative, executing it, evaluating results, and making adjustments based on feedback. This iterative process encourages teams to implement small, incremental changes, allowing for rapid adaptation and learning from previous cycles. By focusing on smaller, manageable improvements rather than large-scale changes, teams can respond more effectively to feedback and fluctuating project requirements. This aligns well with agile principles that prioritize flexibility and customer satisfaction through iterative work, allowing teams to refine products more effectively while maintaining a focus on delivering value.
