Why each option
Agile is the software development methodology that incorporates daily stand-up meetings as a core practice to improve team communication and quickly surface blockers.
Spiral methodology focuses on iterative development with risk analysis at each phase and does not include daily stand-up meetings as a defined practice.
Agile methodology, particularly the Scrum framework, includes daily stand-up meetings (daily scrums) as a fundamental ceremony where team members report what they did, what they plan to do, and any impediments. This structured daily communication is specifically designed to reduce information gaps and improve collaboration, making it the right choice for addressing security bugs caused by poor team communication.
Waterfall methodology uses sequential, phase-gated development with formal stage reviews rather than iterative daily communication ceremonies.
Rapid Application Development (RAD) emphasizes rapid prototyping and user feedback cycles but does not define daily stand-up meetings as a core communication mechanism.
