Question 1

Correct Answer:

Verified

It is important that the student is able to communicate that their role in system development is extremely important even if they don't go into IT. Users' roles are extremely important in regard to communicating to the IT department what the new system has to do in order for them to do their jobs…only a user can do this (IT doesn't know what a user does on a day-to-day basis). In other words, users are the ones who have to "live with" the system, so they better be involved at the beginning (investigation, analysis) because they will have to deal with the end (operation and maintenance).
