Question

A key concern facing the architect of a time-boxed project is:
    a. to make sure that costs are controlled so that the project does not encounter a cost overrun
    b. to make sure that the architecture of the system will enable the addition of new product features in the future
    c. to make sure that the project owner does not get too involved in the details of s/w development on the project
    d. to make sure the project achieves its schedule targets

Under what conditions is the Waterfall model most appropriate?
    a. Large, relatively routine projects
    b. Small, dynamic projects
    c. Large, dynamic projects
    d. The current consensus is that it is not appropriate in any circumstances

With time-boxed scheduling, project team members:
    a. typically operate in a virtual team environment
    b. coordinate their efforts through monthly project team meetings
    c. constantly look for opportunities to carry out work concurrently in order to speed the schedule
    d. meet in daily scrums

Agile techniques, such as Scrum, see s/w project management:
    a. as requiring a high level of discipline and process
    b. as largely useless, because s/w development is filled with so many uncertainties that it defies project management discipline
    c. as largely concerned with "art" rather than "science," where effective use of people is central to effective s/w development
    d. as indistinguishable from the system development life cycle


RAD Application Development holds that traditional systems analysis has little value in identifying customer requirements.
    a. true
