Final Exam Question
- Describe the three key assumptions regarding software projects that every agile software process must address.
Answer (Section 5.3):
It is difficult to predict in advance which software requirements and customer priorities will change and which will not.
For many types of software design and construction must be interleaved, it is difficult to predict how much design is needed before construction can be used to prove the design.
Analysis, design, construction, and testing are not always predictable processes and this makes planning difficult.
