   A healthcare provider is implementing a new network for its hospitals. The project has a fixed budget and a strict regulatory deadline. The network team wants to use Agile to allow for feedback from clinicians, but the compliance team requires a complete design document before any implementation. How can the project manager best reconcile these conflicting requirements?

   • AUse Waterfall for the design phase, but skip the implementation phase and go straight to optimization.
   • BUse Agile only, and document the design as the project progresses.
   • CUse Waterfall only, because compliance requirements are non-negotiable.
   • DUse a hybrid approach: complete a Waterfall-based design document for compliance, then use Agile sprints for implementation.

   A tech company is using an Agile approach to manage its network. The team conducts a retrospective at the end of each sprint to discuss what went well and what could be improved. How does this practice contribute to network optimization?

   • AIt allows the team to identify and implement performance improvements in the next sprint.
   • BIt ensures that the network design is fully documented before implementation.
   • CIt is a formal phase-gate review that must be approved by management.
   • DIt prevents any changes to the network after the initial deployment.

   A retail chain is rolling out a new Wi-Fi network across its stores. The project team uses two-week sprints, and each sprint delivers a fully functional Wi-Fi setup for one or two stores. The team reviews performance metrics after each sprint and adjusts the design for the next stores. Which methodology is being used, and what is a primary benefit?

   • AAgile, but only for implementation, while the design is done using Waterfall.
   • BHybrid, because the design is fixed upfront but implementation is iterative.
   • CAgile, because the iterative sprints allow for continuous feedback and adaptation of the design.
   • DWaterfall, because each store is a separate phase with a formal review.

   When is Agile the more suitable methodology for a network project?

   • AWhen the project has a fixed budget and timeline that must not change
   • BWhen the network requirements are fully defined and unlikely to change
   • CWhen the customer needs to see incremental value and provide feedback throughout the project
   • DWhen the project team is geographically distributed and cannot meet frequently
