Which life cycle model organizes development into short iterations or sprints…

Concept

A software development life cycle model defines how work is organized, reviewed, and adapted from requirements through delivery.

Iterative models revisit development in repeated increments. Continuous feedback means that observations from one increment influence planning and changes in later increments.

Application

The description asks for a model in which short development increments and recurring feedback guide adaptation throughout the project. Agile uses iterations or sprints, and teams use stakeholder feedback from each increment to refine subsequent work.

Contrast

• Waterfall progresses through sequential phases and ordinarily controls change at phase boundaries.

• Spiral repeats cycles primarily to identify, analyse, and reduce risk.

• Prototyping creates early models mainly to clarify requirements and obtain reactions before or during refinement.

Cross-check

The two clues must hold together: short repeated increments identify an iterative process, while recurring feedback-driven adaptation throughout the project identifies Agile among the offered values.

Therefore, the model described is Agile.
