QUESTION 27 OF 30

Here at Amazon, we use Agile and Waterfall. Are you familiar with these software development methodologies and, if so, which of these do you prefer?

An interviewer at Amazon will ask this question to determine if you are a good fit for their organization. There are a lot of different methodologies software developers can choose from. Regardless of which one you prefer, you'll need to adapt to the software development methodology used by Amazon. You can learn about the methodology the company's software development team uses should through your pre-interview research. The methodology you state a preference for should align with the one Amazon currently uses.

"The software development methodology I prefer and use the most is Agile. The reason I like this iterative framework is its daily stand-ups. These provide the team with the opportunity to discuss its development goals and any issues that they've encountered. I prefer to use the Agile methodology because it identifies errors and enables them to be corrected at each stage of the process. The result of this is better quality software and a reduced need for debugging toward the end of the project."
