FC0-U71 Practice Question: A project has frequent requirement changes and…
A project has frequent requirement changes and the team needs to deliver working software in short cycles. Which software development methodology is most appropriate?
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests the distinction between Agile (a development methodology) and DevOps (a deployment/operations practice), leading candidates to confuse the two when the question focuses on requirement changes and short delivery cycles.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Agile
Agile methodology is the most appropriate because it explicitly supports iterative development, frequent requirement changes, and short delivery cycles through practices like sprints and continuous feedback. Unlike rigid sequential models, Agile embraces change even late in development, making it ideal for projects where requirements evolve rapidly.

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Waterfall
Why it's wrong here
Waterfall is sequential and does not handle changes easily; it's not suitable for frequent requirement changes.
- ✓
Agile
Why this is correct
Agile embraces change and delivers working software in short iterations, making it ideal for projects with frequent requirement changes.
- ✗
DevOps
Why it's wrong here
DevOps focuses on integration and deployment, not on managing requirement changes.
