A project manager is explaining the concept of iterations to a team new to agile methodologies. Which of the following statements best describes the duration of an iteration in an agile project?
The duration of an iteration is flexible and adjusted based on the complexity of the features planned for it.
The project sponsor and key stakeholders determine the length of each iteration before it begins.
Iterations are time-boxed to a fixed length to establish a consistent rhythm and predictable delivery.
Iterations must always be two weeks long, as mandated by the Agile Manifesto.
In agile methodologies, iterations are time-boxed, meaning they have a fixed, consistent duration (e.g., two weeks). This approach creates a predictable rhythm, or cadence, for the development team. A consistent iteration length helps in planning, limits risk, and ensures a regular and predictable delivery of value. While the iteration length can be adjusted during a project if the team decides it's necessary, it is not flexible from one iteration to the next.
