adaptive
waterfall model
an SDLC approach that assumes the phases can be completed sequentially with no overlap
incremental development
an SDLC approach that completes portions of the system in small increments across iterations, with each increment being integrated into the whole as it is completed
predictive approach to the SDLC
an approach that assumes the project can be planned in advance and that the new information system can be developed according to the plan
adaptive approach to the SDLC
an approach that assumes the project must be more flexible and adapt to changing needs as the project progresses

complete beta test
A project cannot have both predictive and adaptive elements.

false
The purpose of a Scrum daily meeting is to find solutions for any issues that have arisen since the last meeting
false

revisiting, reorganizing, and rebuilding part of a system so it is of higher quality
Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
sets of tools that work together to provide a comprehensive development and programming environment for software developers
The objective of the ____ is to keep the system running productively during the years following its initial installation. version release support phase maintenance phase deployment phase
support phase
A(n) _____ provides guidelines to follow for completing every activity in systems development, including specific models, tools, and techniques. predictive approach object-oriented analysis system development methodology systems development life cycle

product owner
the client stakeholder for whom the system is being built
Scrum master
the person in charge of a Scrum project—similar to a project manager
