The final phase of the systems development life cycle (SDLC) is ________.

The project plan which results from defining the system is the input to ________, which is the second phase of the SDLC.

The first step in the system definition phase of the systems development life cycle (SDLC) is to ________.

Once the project's goals and scope have been defined, the next step in the system definition phase of the systems development life cycle (SDLC) is to ________.

Which of the following are the dimensions of feasibility?

Organizational feasibility concerns ________.

If a defined project is determined to be feasible in the systems development life cycle (SDLC), the next step is to ________.

During the requirements definition stage of developing an information system, the project team will consist mostly of ________.

Dentoin Pharmaceuticals requires an information system to support its new assembly line. The management has assigned a team of ten members to plan this project. Which of the following will be the first major task for this team?

ACES is a quality auditing firm. It has dedicated a team of managers, business analysts, and system analysts to develop an information system that receives data and produces quarterly reports that grade companies on their quality rating. The team is using the five-phase systems development life cycle (SDLC) to develop this information system. During which of the following phases will the team identify what kind of reports need to be produced and how frequently?

The ________ phase of the systems development life cycle (SDLC) involves determining hardware and program specifications, designing the database and procedures, and creating job definitions.

Tasks in the ________ phase of the systems development life cycle (SDLC) are to build and test system components, and to convert users to the new system.

A(n) ________ is a formal description of a system's response to use and misuse scenarios.

During the system implementation phase of the systems development life cycle (SDLC), once a system has passed testing, the organization installs the new system. Which of the following terms is used to refer to this activity?

In the system implementation phase of the systems development life cycle (SDLC), with ________ installation, the organization implements the entire new system/business processes on a limited portion of the business.

In the system implementation phase of the systems development life cycle (SDLC), with ________ installation, the new system runs alongside the old one until it has been tested and is fully operational.

In the context of system implementation phase of the systems development life cycle (SDLC), a ________ installation is the riskiest because the old system is shut down and the new system is introduced.

In the system implementation phase of the systems development life cycle (SDLC), with the ________ installation, the organization installs the next piece of the system only after the previous piece works.

The work done during ________ phase is either to fix the system so that it works correctly or to adapt it to changes in requirements.

The systems development life cycle is the traditional process used to develop information systems and applications.

The process of assessing a project's feasibility occurs during the component design phase of the systems development life cycle (SDLC).

Unlike business analysts, systems analysts work more with managers and executives.

Systems analysts integrate the work of programmers, testers, and users.

A project team that develops an information system (IS) will comprise business and systems analysts during the requirements definition phase.

User involvement is critical throughout the system development process.
