A new project manager joins an agile innovation project started two weeks earlier and finds the prior manager planned a predictive approach with the first major deliverable due at project completion in 8 months. What should the new project manager do?

The correct answer is to meet with the team to review the backlog and create short iterations to deliver incremental value. An agile innovation project thrives on iterative development and early, continuous delivery of value. The previous manager's predictive approach with a single deliverable at the end contradicts agile principles. The new project manager should immediately pivot to an agile methodology by collaborating with the team to define a backlog and establish short iterations (sprints) to deliver value incrementally, allowing for early feedback and adaptation. Adopting a hybrid approach but still delivering value only at project end defeats the purpose of agile's incremental value delivery. Keeping the predictive approach is inappropriate for an agile innovation project. Submitting a change request to move the delivery date earlier doesn't address the fundamental issue of the project's methodology and lack of iterative value delivery.
