A team finishes developing all of their Stories in the first six days of the Iteration, tests them in the following two days, and fixes bugs in the days remaining. How is the team behaving?
A.
They are abusing the practice of hardening
B.
They are ignoring nonfunctional requirements within the Iteration
C.
They are waterfalling the Iteration
D.
They are applying the Agile development practice of "separation of concerns"
The team is waterfalling the Iteration, which means they are following a sequential and rigid process of development, testing, and fixing, instead of an iterative and incremental approach. This is not aligned with the Agile principles and practices, which advocate for delivering working software frequently, with continuous feedback and improvement. Waterfalling the Iteration reduces the team’s ability to respond to change, deliver value, and collaborate effectively. It also increases the risk of accumulating technical debt, defects, and rework.
