Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

One thing that user stories help the business analyst do is encourage iterative development. Iterative development is an approach that breaks down a project into smaller cycles or iterations, each delivering a working piece of functionality or value to the user. User stories are well suited for iterative development because they are concise, focused, and prioritized based on user needs and value. User stories help to deliver features faster and more frequently, while allowing for feedback and changes along the way.

I think I saw a practice question about user stories being fixed after approval, but that seems off. They should evolve as the project progresses, I believe.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like user stories shouldn't get too technical. They focus more on user needs rather than specific components, right?
