Question | Answer |
---|---|
What are the 5 levels of the Capability Maturity Model? | Initial, Repeatable, Defined, Managed and Optimizing |
The Capability Quality Model (CQM) is a framework to assess the quality level of an organization's information systems development and management processes and products. | False, The Capability Maturity Model (CMM) is a framework to assess the maturity level of an organization's information systems development and management processes and products. |
A system life cycle divides the life of an information system into two major stages: (1) systems development; and (2) systems operation and support. First you build it; then you use it, keep it running and support it. | True |
A problem could be a real problem, an opportunity for improvement or a directive from management. | True |
The final phase in most system development methodologies is documentation. | False, Documentation is done throughout development. |
Process management involves the scoping, planning, staffing, organizing, directing, and controlling a project to develop an information system. | False, Project management involves the scoping, planning, staffing, organizing, directing, and controlling a project to develop an information system. |
Problems are undesirable situations that prevent the organization from fully achieving its purpose, goals and/or objectives. | True |
The scope definition phase must consider the question, "Is this project worth looking at?" | True |
Data modeling is a process-centered technique popularized .by the structured analysis and design methodology. | False, Data modeling is a data-centered technique used to model business data requirements and design database systems that fulfill those requirements. |
Project management is the activity of defining, planning, directing, monitoring and controlling a project to develop an acceptable system within the allotted time and budget. | True |
RAD stands for: | Rapid Application Development |
The definition of feasibility is: | Measure of how beneficial the development of an information system would be to an organization |
A system development strategy that emphasizes extensive user involvement and iterative, incremental prototypes is: | RAD (Rapid Application Development) |
A modeling technique that attempts to merge data and process concerns is called | object modeling |
Activities that overlap many or all phases of the methodology are called | cross life cycle activities |
System development documentation is stored in a | repository |
The _______________________________________ is a framework to assess the maturity level of an organization's information systems development and management processes and products. | Capability Maturity Model (CMM |
A(n) _____________________________ divides the life of an information system into two stages: systems development and systems operation and support. | system life cycle |
_________________________________ asks the question: Does the staff have the technical expertise to design and build the solution? | Technical Feasibility |
_________________________________ asks the question: Is the solution cost-effective such that the benefits outweigh the costs? | Economic Feasibility |
________________________________ asks the question: Can the solution be designed and implemented within an acceptable time period? | Schedule Feasibility |
____________________________________ requires the systems analyst to draw system models either from scratch or from templates. The resulting models are then automatically transformed into program code. | Forward Engineering |
________________________________________ techniques emphasize the drawing of models to help visualize and analyze problems, define business requirements, and design information systems. | Model-driven development |
