Incremental delivery is not always the best approach. Which types of system are identified as unsuitable for incremental delivery? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer
(1) Very large systems where development involves teams working in different locations
(2) Embedded systems where the software depends on hardware development
(3) Critical systems where all requirements must be analysed to check for interactions that may compromise safety or security
Explanation
Incremental delivery is not the best approach for: very large systems with distributed teams; embedded systems where software depends on hardware development; and critical systems where all requirements must be analysed upfront to check for interactions that may compromise safety or security.
