Rapid development and delivery is now often the most critical requirement for software systems. Why?

Correct Answer

Because businesses operate in a rapidly changing environment and must respond to new opportunities, markets, and competitive pressures quickly

Explanation

Businesses now operate in a global, rapidly changing environment. They must respond to new opportunities and markets, changing economic conditions, and the emergence of competing products and services. Rapid development and delivery is therefore now often the most critical requirement for software systems — many businesses are even willing to trade off software quality and compromise on requirements to achieve faster deployment.
