Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 101

Which advantage does the agile process offer compared to waterfall software development?

Answer options

• A. to add or update features with incremental delivery
• B. to view the full scope of end-to-end work
• C. to have each phase end before the next begins
• D. to fix any issues at the end of the development cycle

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The agile process allows for incremental delivery, enabling teams to add or update features based on feedback throughout the development cycle. In contrast, the waterfall model requires that each phase be completed before moving to the next, which can delay the incorporation of new features or changes. Additionally, fixing issues at the end of the cycle is characteristic of waterfall, making it less flexible than agile.
