Question
Answer
List the 4 Phases of the System Development Life Cycle?   Planning, Analysis, Design, and Implementation  
🗑
What is the System Development Life Cycle?   Understanding of Information Systems in supporting business needs by designing a system and delivering to others  
🗑
What is the primary objective of a System Analyst?   create value for the organization  
🗑
Describe a failed system?   happens when an analyst tries to build a wonderful system without clearly understanding how the system would fit with the orgs: goals, and current business processes.  
🗑
Name three different types of systems development methodologies?   Structured design, rapid application development, and agile development  
🗑
EXAMPLE: "Don't Rush Greatness."   The IT department prceeded with the project before it even knew if the project had been accepted. Projected $800,000 ended up spending $2.5 Million  
🗑
Three steps to building an Information System?   1. Basic Idea 2. Simple Drawing 3. Set of Blueprints  
🗑
What are deliverables   specific documents and files that provide understanding about the project  
🗑
Planning can be described as?   Why this Information System should be build and How  
🗑
Analysis can be described as?   Who will use the system, what the system will do  
🗑
Design can be described as?   How the system will operate, Hard/Software, NetInfrastructure  
🗑
Implementation can be describe as?   Actually building the system  
🗑
What is methodology?   A List of steps and deliverables  
🗑
Object- Oriented Methodologies =   Process + Data  
🗑
Key Advantages of Structured Design Waterfall Approach?   1.identifies system requirements before programming begins 2. minimizes changes to project  
🗑
DisAdvantages of Structured Design Waterfall Approach?   1. Must be specified early 2. Lengthy Deliverables leads to poor communication  
🗑
Describe Waterfall Development   Long phases that are presented to the project sponsor for approval, from phase to phase  
🗑
Key Advantages of Structured Design Waterfall Approach?   1.identifies system requirements before programming begins 2. minimizes changes to project  
🗑
DisAdvantages of Structured Design Waterfall Approach?   1. Must be specified early 2. Lengthy Deliverables leads to poor communication  
🗑
What is Parallel Development?   starting first with a general design and then dividing the project into a series of distinct sub-projects  
🗑
Advantage/Dis Advantage of Parallel Development   Adv. Reduce Schedule time Dis. Not completely independent.  
🗑
What is Rapid Application Development (RAD)?   methodologies implemented in the 90'S used to get projects to the users quickly (Phased, Prototyping, and Throw Away Prototyping)  
🗑
What type of methodology is Phased Development? And Explain it's purpose?   breaks an overall system into a series of versions, which are developed sequentially.  
🗑
Adv/Dis Advantage of Phased Development?   Adv. Get to users quickly Dis. Users work with incomplete systems  
🗑
What type of methodology is prototyping? And Explain it's purpose?   all three phases performed repeatedly in a cycle until the system is completed  
🗑
Adv/Dis Advantage of Prototyping?   Adv. quickly provides systems Dis. Undergoes significant changes due to fast paced releases  
🗑
What type of methodology is throwaway prototyping? And Explain it's purpose?   used to gather information and develop ideas for the system concept  
🗑
What type of methodology is Extreme Programming? And Explain it's purpose?   Agile Development. Founded on four core values: Communication, Simplicity, feedback, and courage  
🗑
