Agile methods must be adapted to cope with large systems engineering. Complete the sentence about the three critical adaptations.
For large systems development, you need more up-front (1) and system documentation. Cross-team (2) mechanisms must be designed and used. And while strict continuous integration is practically impossible at scale, frequent system builds and regular (3) are essential.
Correct Answer
Explanation
The three critical adaptations for large systems: (1) more up-front design and system documentation — the software architecture must be designed and documentation produced; (2) cross-team communication mechanisms — regular phone/video conferences, short electronic meetings, e-mail, wikis, social networking; (3) frequent system builds and regular releases — strict continuous integration is practically impossible but frequent builds and regular releases are essential.
