CIS 332 Chapter 2

If you had a project with very clear requirements; familiar technologies; not super complex; reliable; a very long time schedule and where the need for schedule visibility is low - the best methodology might be Extreme programming

False

In most IT departments, the demand for IT projects is generally about the same as the department's ability to supply them.

False

PMP is People - Management - Project - the three components of successful project management.

False

Projects can be classified by: size, cost, purpose, length, programming language and hardware platform.

False

The Throwaway Prototyping methodology is good at creating release version 1.0 for users; and then the methodology shifts to system prototyping to finish the system.

False

The margin of error in cost and time estimates can be as much as 20% in the planning phase for the system proposal deliverable.

False

The project methodology that takes the longest to complete is Extreme Programming Methodology.

False

Which is NOT suggested for IT development projects?

Projects need to give a positive return on investment within four years

Start with a realistic assessment of the work that needs to be done

Throwaway prototyping is BEST characterized as:

A method for exploring design alternatives

Extreme Programming (XP) is BEST characterized as:

A method for stressing customer satisfaction
