    What are the benefits of Controlled Iterative Development?

    • A.

      It lets you take changing requirements into account.

    E. All of the above.
    Explanation
    Controlled Iterative Development offers several benefits. Firstly, it allows for the consideration of changing requirements, ensuring that the development process remains adaptable. Secondly, elements are integrated progressively, avoiding a single, overwhelming integration phase at the end. This approach helps to identify and mitigate risks earlier in the development cycle. Additionally, it promotes the reuse of components and leads to a more robust architecture. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the above."

    Explanation
    Builds are an integral part of the iterative lifecycle. They represent on-going attempts to demonstrate the functionality developed to date. Each build is placed under configuration control in case there is a need to roll back to an earlier version when added functionality causes breakages, or otherwise compromises build integrity.

    Extensive rework during later stages in project lifecycle is avoided through solidifying architecture as soon as possible. Insufficient rework situations might include: (select all that apply)

    • A.

      Excessive schedule pressure

    • B.

      Not enough focus on cost and schedule

    • C.

      Overly defined requirements

    • D.

      Perception of rework as incompetence or failure

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Excessive schedule pressure
    D. Perception of rework as incompetence or failure
    Explanation
    Achieving the right balance between too much rework and too little rework is difficult in practice. To a certain extent, you can always improve upon what has been done. Perfectionists usually feel that rework is warranted if any improvement is possible. At the other extreme are those who see rework as failure. All rework is seen as jeopardizing the schedule. “There’s never time to do it right. There’s always time to do it twice.” In other words, since the schedule is always tight, all rework is planned for a post-deployment cycle. Successful project managers achieve a balance between these opposing views. The Project Manager rightly sees the decision to do rework as a business decision that must take all aspects of the project into consideration.
