M2 - System Analysis
SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN / IT0037
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Which of the following is NOT a type of feasibility study? | Logical feasibility |
| What is the primary purpose of a business case in system planning? | To justify the need for a project |
| What is the first phase of the SDLC Waterfall Model? | Systems planning |
| A data-sharing agreement may not be approved before the pilot. Which risk response is strongest? | Assign the project lead to track the approval trigger, prepare a sanitized-data fallback, set a decision date, and record residual limitations |
| Which statement correctly separates risk cause, uncertain event, and consequence? | Because the identity provider has an unconfirmed capacity limit, authentication may fail during enrollment, causing users to miss registration windows |
| Four project proposals compete for one development team. Which selection process is most defensible? | Use agreed weighted criteria for strategic value, evidence, feasibility, risk, resource demand, and expected benefit |
| Which revised objective best improves the statement 'Make permit processing faster'? | Reduce the median verified permit-processing time from eight working days to five within three months of pilot deployment |
| A privacy concern discovered during design must reach the data protection officer within one working day. Where should this requirement be documented? | In the communication and escalation plan with audience, owner, channel, timing, and required action |
| A team lists 'deploy the dashboard' as the only success measure for a collection project. Which additional measure is strongest? | Reduction in the average time needed to identify and act on high-risk overdue accounts |
| A sponsor, product owner, security reviewer, and systems analyst disagree about who may approve a scope change. What should the project plan establish? | Decision rights, review responsibilities, escalation paths, and change-control rules |
| Which statement is a milestone rather than merely a date? | Security feasibility evidence reviewed and the conditional recommendation approved by the sponsor |
| A tourism portal has strong stakeholder value and a workable prototype, but launch depends on documented content licenses and a tested low-connectivity fallback. What recommendation is strongest? | Proceed with conditions that name the licensing and fallback evidence, owners, deadlines, and consequences |
| A facial-recognition attendance proposal may misidentify students with darker skin tones and has no documented lawful basis for biometric processing. Which conclusion is most defensible? | Treat fairness, lawful basis, consent or authority, safety, and accountability as unresolved feasibility blockers |
| A department submits a one-page request asking the IT office to investigate long enrollment queues. After investigation, the analyst prepares a document defining scope, alternatives, feasibility, costs, risks, and a recommendation. | A systems proposal |
| A proposed analytics platform must process five million records nightly, but the team has not tested the selected database or confirmed integration access. What is the best next step? | Run a representative proof of concept, verify interfaces and skills, and document support requirements |
| Prototype testing cannot begin until representative users are approved by the partner organization. How should the schedule address this condition? | Record the approval as a predecessor dependency, assign an owner, and include contingency |
| Which planning statement should be logged as an assumption that requires validation? | Most intended users have reliable access to a compatible smartphone |
| A team rates lifecycle options but lacks evidence about stakeholder availability and requirement stability. What is the most responsible action? | Record the uncertainty, gather evidence, and revisit the selection or tailoring decision |
| A barangay requests a mobile reporting application because a nearby city uses one. Which addition would most strengthen the business case? | Local evidence of reporting delays, affected users, expected public value, costs, risks, and alternatives |
| A vendor offers a low first-year subscription, but migration, integration, training, storage growth, support, and exit fees are not included. What should the analyst do? | Build a total-cost-of-ownership estimate covering initial, recurring, indirect, transition, risk, and retirement costs |
| A government payroll integration has stable statutory rules, a fixed annual release window, and mandatory review documents. Which starting approach is most suitable? | Use a predictive baseline with formal approvals, while tailoring feedback and risk reviews where needed |
| A first release will cover incident submission and dispatcher review for one campus, but not responder dispatch optimization or off-campus agencies. Which statement is most appropriate? | Record the included and excluded processes, users, locations, data, and responsibilities in the scope |
| Which work breakdown structure entry is most useful for a preliminary feasibility study? | Integration feasibility evidence package: interface inventory, test result, dependency owner, and recommendation |
| What is the final step in the preliminary investigation process? | Presenting results and recommendations to management |
| What tool is used to identify causes and effects in problem analysis? | Fishbone diagram |
| Which of the following is an internal factor affecting systems projects? | Strategic plan |
| What is the main disadvantage of the SDLC Waterfall Model? | It does not emphasize interactivity among phases |
| What is the purpose of a preliminary investigation? | To evaluate the feasibility of a systems request |
| Which development method emphasizes collaboration and rapid prototyping? | JAD/RAD |
| What is project creep? | Uncontrolled changes in project scope |
