Did you do the group project from start to finish?

Scenario: A team skips SDLC planning for a library app, assuming user needs are obvious. Mid-project, they discover a critical feature was missed. What is the primary consequence?

• The app launches on time but lacks user appeal.

• Redesigns increase costs and delay the project.

• The app has no bugs due to simplified coding.

• Users automatically adapt to the missing feature.

Scenario: A client insists on a Waterfall model for a shopping app but demands weekly feature changes. Why does this create a conflict?

• Waterfall requires a large team, slowing changes.

• Waterfall’s sequential phases resist mid-project modifications.

• Waterfall eliminates user feedback, causing delays.

• Waterfall uses outdated tools incompatible with changes.

Scenario: A team uses the Incremental SDLC model for a banking app to deliver features in phases. What is a critical risk they must manage?

• Overly complex code from rapid development.

• Integration issues between incremental releases.

• Elimination of testing to meet deadlines.

• Lack of user feedback during development.

Scenario: A music app fails at launch due to ignored SDLC testing. What could have prevented this?

• Hiring more developers to write code faster.

• Following SDLC to validate functionality pre-launch.

• Skipping requirements to focus on design.

• Using a popular programming language.

Scenario: A team debates prioritizing modularity in a fitness app’s SDLC. What is the strongest argument for it?

• It simplifies the app’s visual design for users.

• It isolates components, easing updates and debugging.

• It eliminates the need for user requirements.

• It ensures the app runs on all platforms.

Scenario: A team uses a generic SDLC model for a weather app but overlooks stakeholder communication. What is the likely outcome?

• The app launches faster with fewer meetings.

• Misaligned features fail to meet user needs.

• The app has superior performance.

• The team avoids all coding errors.

Scenario: A client demands a tight deadline for a to-do list app, pressuring the team to skip SDLC design. What should the team do?

• Skip design to meet the deadline.

• Negotiate to include a minimal design phase.

• Ignore the deadline and follow SDLC fully.

• Outsource the design to another team.
