Why should the transition from agile development to post-delivery evolution be relatively seamless?

Because agile methods always use exactly the same staff for the entire lifetime of a product

Because agile methods are based on incremental development, which naturally extends into ongoing evolution

Because agile methods forbid any changes after the first release

Because agile teams are legally required to disband after delivery

Correct Answer

Because agile methods are based on incremental development, which naturally extends into ongoing evolution

Explanation

Agile methods are based on incremental development, where the software is continuously built up in small increments. This makes the transition from initial development to post-delivery evolution seamless, since evolution is essentially a continuation of the same incremental process.
