CAPM Practice: Validate requirements through product delivery

Continuous delivery shortens the feedback loop dramatically. When features reach real users quickly, teams learn whether requirements reflected actual needs through usage data, support tickets, and user behavior — enabling rapid requirements correction.

**Why not A:** Continuous delivery does not eliminate the need for requirements validation. It changes the mechanism — validation happens through real user feedback on small, frequent deployments rather than staged testing at the end — but validation remains essential.

**Why not B:** In continuous delivery, validation is not deferred to a final deployment. The entire point is that each small increment is deployed and validated through real usage data, providing continuous feedback rather than a single end-of-project validation event.

**Why not D:** Continuous delivery supports both technical and requirements validation. When real users interact with deployed features, their behavior reveals whether requirements accurately reflected their needs — this is requirements validation through actual usage, not just technical testing.
