CHAPTER 10

1)Information system projects are often an extension of existing systems or involve replacing an old technology with a new one.

2. Normally, a task force for the planning phase of the systems development life cycle (SDLC) only includes representatives from the IT department along with the top management.
3. One of the advantages of prototyping is that modifying a prototype is easier than modifying a complete system.
4. In pilot conversion, an analyst introduces an information system in only a limited area of an organization.
5. Establishing evaluation criteria often gives rise to subjectivity issues during the systems development life cycle (SDLC) process.
6. Including users and top management in the construction phase of a prototype is essential because some problems that crop up during construction can be solved only by users or top management.
7. Information system projects are often an extension of existing systems or involve replacing an old technology with a new one.
8. The object-oriented approach combines process and data analysis, and the line between analysis and design is so thin that analysis and design seem to be a single phase instead of two distinct phases.

9. are employees who will use an information system regularly, and they can offer important feedback on the system’s strengths and weaknesses.

10. A(n)       lists the completion time of a project on the x-axis and all the activities on the y-axis, which allows the systems analyst to monitor the progress of the project and detect any delay in the daily operation of the project.
11.     costs measure what an individual would miss by not having an information system or feature.

12. In the context of information systems, which is an advantage of prototyping?
