Exam 5: Systems Analysis

The deliverable for the ______________________________ phase is the completion of an updated project plan, including problem analyses, any system models, the system improvement objectives, and any other documentation that was produced during this phase.

In the scope definition phase, urgency is used to represent the prioritization and documentation requirements for the problem that needs to be solved, or the opportunity or directive to be realized.

Which of the following phases defines the business requirements for new systems?

A small-scale, incomplete, but working sample of a desired system is:

________________________________ techniques use facilitated workshops to bring together all the system owners, system users, systems analysts and some systems designers and builders to jointly perform systems analysis.

A nonfunctional requirement is a description of other features, characteristics and constraints that will make the system unsatisfactory.

Which of the following is not part of the scope definition phase?

A(n) __________________________________ is a committee of executive business and system managers that studies and prioritizes competing project proposals to determine which projects will return the most value to the organization and thus should be approved for continued system development.

The requirements phase typically includes a task to update or refine the project plan.

Many analysts use parts of structured analysis and information engineering in a complementary way to model an information system.

The _____________________________phase is best described by the statement, "Don't try to fix it unless you understand it."

In the scope definition phase, _____________________________ is used to represent what time frame the problem needs to be solved or the opportunity or directive to be realized.

During the scope definition phase, each problem, opportunity and directive is assessed with respect to urgency, visibility, tangible benefits and priority.

Timeboxing divides the total project into subsets that can each be delivered within a one-week time frame.

The scope definition phase typically included the following tasks: (1) study the problem domain; (2) analyzed problems and opportunities; (3) analyze business processes; (4) establish system improvement objectives; (5) update the project plan; (6) present findings and recommendations.

The scope definition phase is the first phase of the classic systems development process. It is also known as initial study phase, survey phase, or planning phase.

Which of the following is NOT shown in a context diagram?

The scope definition phase looks at the economic and operational feasibility of the project under consideration.

The first FAST phase is the problem analysis phase.

Systems analysis is a problem-solving technique that decomposes a system into its component pieces for the purpose of studying how well those component parts work and interact to accomplish their purpose.
