Problem Statement
Explain what a hybrid SDLC model is (e.g., combining elements of Waterfall and Agile), and when a project might adopt such an approach.
Explanation
A hybrid SDLC model blends characteristics of both traditional and agile approaches. For instance, the initial planning and requirements phases might follow a Waterfall structure to set foundation, then iterative sprints (Agile) are used in development and testing. /n/n Projects adopt hybrid models when they have some stable requirements and regulatory/documentation demands (favoring Waterfall) but also need flexibility and speed (favoring Agile). This compromise allows balancing predictability, governance and adaptability.
