Which planning approach aligns with incremental workspace development in FME?

• A. Plan your project as a single long section
• B. Plan your project as a series of small sections that fit inside bookmarks
• C. Skip planning and add transformers randomly
• D. Plan only after coding all sections

Answer: (B)

Incremental workspace development means building and testing the workflow in small, manageable pieces. Using bookmarks to divide the project into a series of small sections lets you isolate and verify each part, then gradually assemble them. This approach supports iterative testing, easier debugging, and reuse of components, which all align with planning the project as a series of small sections that fit inside bookmarks.

Planning the project as a single long section makes it hard to test and iterate, so issues can accumulate without clear feedback. Skipping planning and adding transformers randomly leads to a chaotic, hard-to-maintain workspace. Planning only after coding all sections eliminates the benefits of incremental validation.
