[All CASM Questions]

Which is NOT one of the underlying principles of the Agile Manifesto?

AWorking software is the primary measure of progress

BDeliver working software daily

CThe highest priority is to satisfy the customer

DSimplicity---the art of maximizing the amount of work not done---is essential

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The Agile Manifesto outlines 12 principles, and while delivering value frequently is one of them, 'delivering working software daily' is not explicitly stated. Let's evaluate the options:

A . Correct. The Agile Manifesto states that 'working software is the primary measure of progress.'

B . Incorrect. The principle states, 'Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months,' but it does not specify daily delivery. This makes 'daily' incorrect.

C . Correct. Satisfying the customer through early and continuous delivery is the highest priority in Agile.

D . Correct. Simplicity, or minimizing unnecessary work, is one of the core principles in Agile.

Agile Manifesto: agilemanifesto.org

Principle 3: 'Deliver working software frequently...'

Principle 10: 'Simplicity---the art of maximizing the amount of work not done---is essential.'

I’m leaning towards B. Daily delivery isn't always feasible.

D) Simplicity---the art of maximizing the amount of work not done---is essential. Ah, the sweet sound of laziness disguised as a principle.

B) Deliver working software daily. Sounds like a lot of work, but I guess that's Agile for you.

I’m confused because I thought all these principles were important. I need to double-check what exactly the Agile Manifesto says about delivery frequency.

I’m leaning towards B as well, but I remember a practice question that emphasized customer satisfaction as a priority.

I feel like all these options are pretty core to Agile, but I vaguely recall that daily delivery isn't explicitly stated in the principles.

I think the answer might be B, but I’m not completely sure. I remember something about delivering software frequently, but daily seems too much.

Ah, I remember this one from class. The Agile Manifesto is all about valuing individuals, collaboration, and adapting to change. I'm confident I can eliminate the wrong answer here.

Simplicity being essential sounds like it could be one of the Agile principles. But I'm not 100% certain. Gotta think this through carefully.

Okay, I've got this. The Agile Manifesto is all about prioritizing working software, customer satisfaction, and responding to change. I'm pretty sure one of those options doesn't align with that.

Hmm, this one seems tricky. I'll need to really think through the Agile Manifesto principles to figure this out.
