CAPM Agile Frameworks and Methodologies Practice Question
Which TWO are benefits of using an iterative approach in agile projects?
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
✓
Ability to adapt to changing requirements
Iterative development allows early and frequent delivery of working product increments, enabling faster feedback. With shorter cycles, the team can adapt to changing requirements. Iterations do not necessarily reduce total project cost (often they increase predictability but not cost), and they do not postpone testing—testing occurs each iteration. Final documentation is not reduced; documentation is typically just-in-time.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Ability to adapt to changing requirements
Why this is correct
Iterations allow the team to reprioritize based on feedback and new information.
- ✗
Less documentation is needed
Why it's wrong here
Agile values working software over comprehensive documentation, but does not eliminate documentation; it is created as needed.
- ✓
Faster feedback from stakeholders
Why this is correct
Short iterations allow stakeholders to see working increments and provide feedback early.
- ✗
Reduced overall project cost
Why it's wrong here
Agile may improve value delivery but not necessarily reduce cost; sometimes it increases cost due to frequent testing and demos.
- ✗
Postponed testing until the end of the project
Why it's wrong here
Testing is integrated into each iteration, not deferred.
