01.04 Project Management Models - Quiz

Check your understanding

1. What is the main characteristic of the Waterfall model?

   • Each phase must be completed before moving to the next one { data-correct }
   • Development happens in short, iterative cycles
   • Requirements can be changed at any time during development
   • Working software is delivered every 1-4 weeks

2. Which scenario would be BEST suited for the Waterfall methodology?

   • Building a mobile game for teenagers
   • Creating a social media app
   • Developing software for a medical device with strict regulatory requirements { data-correct }
   • Building a startup’s minimum viable product

3. What is a “sprint” in Agile methodology?

   • The final testing phase of the project
   • A meeting to plan the entire project scope
   • A short development cycle lasting 1-4 weeks { data-correct }
   • The documentation phase that happens at the end

4. Which is an advantage of Agile over Waterfall?

   • More predictable timelines and budgets
   • Extensive documentation is produced
   • Users see working software early and frequently { data-correct }
   • Easier to manage large, complex projects

5. Your teacher assigns a project to build a “Grade Calculator” with specific mathematical requirements that won’t change. Which approach would be most appropriate?

   • Waterfall, because requirements are clearly defined and stable { data-correct }
   • Agile, because you need user feedback on the interface
   • Agile, because mathematical calculations are complex
   • Waterfall, because the project is too small for Agile

6. Which statement about project documentation is most accurate?

   • Waterfall projects never produce documentation
   • Waterfall emphasizes comprehensive documentation, while Agile focuses on working software { data-correct }
   • Agile projects produce more documentation than Waterfall projects
   • Both methodologies require exactly the same amount of documentation

7. A startup wants to build a new social media app and test different features with users quickly. Which methodology should they choose?

   • Waterfall, because social media is complex
   • Agile, because they need to adapt quickly based on user feedback { data-correct }
   • Waterfall, because they need extensive planning
   • Neither - they should use a completely different approach

8. What is a key disadvantage of the Waterfall model?

   • Too much collaboration with users
   • Projects finish too quickly
   • Problems are discovered late in the development cycle { data-correct }
   • Too much flexibility in requirements
