What is rolling wave planning?

  1. A method for estimating project costs

  2. A technology used in project management software

  3. A progressive elaboration technique that addresses uncertainty

  4. A risk management strategy

The correct answer is: A progressive elaboration technique that addresses uncertainty

Rolling wave planning is a progressive elaboration technique used in project management that addresses uncertainty. This involves continuously refining and expanding upon the project plan as more information becomes available. Option A is incorrect because while rolling wave planning does involve estimating costs, it is not solely focused on that aspect. Option B is incorrect because although project management software may utilize rolling wave planning, it is not limited to this technology. Option D is incorrect because while rolling wave planning does involve managing risks, it is not the primary purpose of this technique.
