QuestionQ124

Software Development and Design

What distinguishes Agile software development from the Waterfall method?

  • A Agile method values comprehensive documentation whereas Waterfall focuses on working software.
  • B Agile delivers at the end of a linear process whereas in Waterfall each phase depends on the deliverables of the previous phase.
  • C In Agile, development iterations last from one to four weeks whereas the Waterfall method does not utilize iterations.
  • D In Agile, code is deployed to production immediately whereas in Waterfall deployment is processed gradually on each cycle.
Explanation

Agile organizes development into short, repeated iterations—often one to four weeks long—so teams can deliver and refine increments frequently. Waterfall follows a sequential set of phases and does not use iterations as its defining delivery structure.
