   A media company is deploying a new content delivery network (CDN) using an Agile approach. The team plans to release new features in short sprints and use automated testing. What is a key benefit of this approach for network implementation?

   • AThe network design is fully documented before any implementation begins.
   • BThe entire network is deployed in one large release, reducing the number of change windows.
   • CFrequent releases allow for rapid feedback and early detection of issues.
   • DChange management is simplified because there are no changes after the initial deployment.

   What is a key benefit of Agile's continuous integration in network implementation?

   • AIt allows for early detection of integration issues
   • BIt requires all components to be implemented at once
   • CIt eliminates the need for testing
   • DIt prevents any changes after the first sprint

   A utility company has completed a Waterfall-based network upgrade. The post-implementation review reveals that the network's performance is below expectations in certain areas. What is the most likely reason for this?

   • AThe post-implementation review was conducted too early, before the network was fully deployed.
   • BThe network was optimized continuously during implementation, leading to inconsistencies.
   • CThe requirements were not fully understood during the design phase, and the network was built to incorrect specifications.
   • DThe network team did not use continuous integration during implementation.

   How does Waterfall's post-implementation review influence network optimization?

   • AOptimization is not part of the Waterfall methodology
   • BOptimization is based on the original design and occurs after deployment
   • COptimization is performed continuously throughout the project
   • DOptimization is performed before implementation to avoid issues

   A global bank is replacing its core banking network. Regulatory requirements mandate that the design be fully documented and approved before any hardware is procured. The project sponsor wants a predictable timeline and strict change control. Which project management methodology best fits this environment?

   • AAgile, because iterative sprints allow the design to evolve as regulatory requirements become clearer.
   • BWaterfall, because it allows for continuous feedback from regulators during each phase.
   • CWaterfall, because the sequential phases enforce complete design documentation and phase-gate approvals before implementation.
   • DHybrid, using Agile for design and Waterfall for implementation, to combine flexibility with strict change control.
