X3.1 - Why the paragraph doesn't include predictive projects in its definition for life cycle and development life cycle? It seems to imply only applicable in adaptive projects. Are I missing something here? Saving Changes...
I might be missing something but looking at X3.1 in my soft copy of the Guide, it clearly indicates predictive life-cycles as well as adaptive?

Thank you Kiron for looking into this. My PMBOK 6th edition, page 665, the first sentence of the paragraph states, " To understand the application of the process in adaptive projects, the continuum of project cycles should be defined….". Then in the last sentence says, the development life cycles can be predictive, agile, and so on. The first and the last sentences seem rather confusing...

I checked PMI's errata sheet for the 6th edition and couldn't find it listed there...

Thanks Kiron. I think it's typo too. On page 19, it did mention predictive or adaptive, and this makes better sense than the paragraph on page 665. Saving Changes...
