They have a fixed delivery date for a regulatory compliance module. Which Disciplined Agile life cycle is best suited for this team's current context?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: A

    Correct answers: C, D

    The Continuous Delivery: Lean Life Cycle is also appropriate as it emphasizes frequent releases and flow, suitable for maintenance work where fixes need to be deployed rapidly.
