CISM Certification Domain 1: Information Security Governance Video Boot Camp 2019 - Software development methodologies p

The video tutorial explores various software development methodologies, including waterfall, agile, Scrum, XP, spiral, RAD, and prototyping. It highlights the strengths and limitations of each approach, emphasizing the importance of choosing the right methodology based on project requirements and organizational readiness. Agile methodologies, such as Scrum and XP, are noted for their flexibility and iterative nature, while traditional methods like waterfall are more linear. The tutorial also discusses the role of collaboration and adaptability in successful software development.

Why might an organization choose not to use the best-suited software development methodology?

• The methodology is too complex.

• The organization lacks readiness or understanding.

• The methodology is too expensive.

• The methodology is outdated.

What is a key characteristic of the waterfall methodology?

• Risk-driven and cyclical

• Iterative and flexible

• Linear and sequential

• Collaborative and adaptive

In the modified waterfall model, what is a significant change from the pure waterfall model?

• Reduced testing phases

• Ability to skip phases

• Ability to go back one step

• Increased documentation

What is a fundamental principle of agile methodology?

• Customer collaboration over contract negotiation

• Comprehensive documentation over working software

• Strict adherence to initial plans

• Fixed requirements and solutions

How does agile methodology handle changing requirements?

• By restarting the project

• By ignoring them

• By adapting and evolving solutions

• By freezing the project

What is the primary role of a Scrum Master?

• To manage the project budget

• To write the project documentation

• To design the software architecture

In Scrum, what is the purpose of daily standup meetings?

• To conduct code reviews

• To discuss long-term strategies

• To ensure efficient and focused communication

• To finalize project documentation

What is a unique feature of Extreme Programming (XP)?

• Programming in pairs

• Long development cycles

• Fixed project requirements

• Minimal customer interaction

What is the Spiral model primarily driven by?

• Customer feedback

• Time constraints

• Risk analysis

• Cost analysis

How does rapid application development (RAD) differ from traditional prototyping?

• RAD requires minimal customer involvement

• RAD is less adaptable to changes

• RAD focuses on iterative prototyping

• RAD uses fixed design requirements
