Exploring Software Engineering Concepts

What is Agile methodology?

• Agile methodology is a project management style that focuses solely on documentation and processes.

• Agile methodology is a linear approach to project management that emphasizes strict planning.

• Agile methodology is an iterative approach to project management that focuses on flexibility, collaboration, and customer feedback.

• Agile methodology is a traditional method that avoids customer feedback and collaboration.

List the key principles of Agile.

• Contract negotiation over customer collaboration.

• Processes and tools over individuals and interactions.

• 1. Individuals and interactions over processes and tools. 2. Working software over comprehensive documentation. 3. Customer collaboration over contract negotiation. 4. Responding to change over following a plan.

• Comprehensive documentation over working software.

What are the main roles in an Agile team?

• Product Owner, Scrum Master, Development Team

• Quality Assurance

• Business Analyst

• Project Manager

Explain the concept of a sprint in Agile.

• A sprint is a time-boxed iteration in Agile where a team works to complete a defined set of tasks.

• A sprint is a long-term project phase in Agile.

• A sprint is a document outlining project goals and timelines.

• A sprint is a meeting where team members discuss their progress.

What is the purpose of a retrospective in Agile?

• To assign blame for past mistakes and failures.

• To reflect on the team's performance and identify improvements for future iterations.

• To celebrate the team's successes without any critique.

• To plan the next sprint without any feedback from the team.

Describe the Waterfall model in the Software Development Life Cycle.

• The Waterfall model emphasizes continuous integration and delivery throughout the process.

• The Waterfall model is a linear and sequential software development process consisting of distinct phases: Requirements, Design, Implementation, Testing, Deployment, and Maintenance.

• The Waterfall model is an agile software development approach with iterative cycles.

• The Waterfall model consists of overlapping phases that allow for frequent revisions.

What are the phases of the Software Development Life Cycle?

• Concept, Development, Evaluation, Support

• Planning, Requirements Analysis, Design, Implementation, Testing, Deployment, Maintenance

• Analysis, Design, Testing, Release

• Planning, Design, Implementation, Review

How does Agile differ from traditional project management?

• Agile is iterative and flexible, while traditional project management is linear and fixed.

• Agile requires a fixed timeline for project completion.

• Agile is always more expensive than traditional project management.

• Traditional project management is more focused on customer collaboration than Agile.

What is a user story in Agile development?

• A user story is a comprehensive user manual for software.

• A user story is a detailed technical specification for developers.

• A user story is a project timeline for Agile teams.

• A user story is a brief description of a feature from the end user's perspective.

What is the significance of the Minimum Viable Product (MVP)?

• The MVP is a comprehensive feature set for all users.

• The MVP helps validate product ideas quickly and cost-effectively.

• The MVP eliminates the need for user feedback.

• The MVP is a final product ready for launch.
