chapter 1

The three categories of system development methodologies are:

Agile Development Structured Design Rapid Application Development (RAD)

The majority of programming in the Unified Process is done during which phase and workflow?

Construction Phase / Implementation Workflow

The Systems Development Life Cycle is

Defined by the steps of Planning, Analysis, Design and Implementation

Identify the step in the SDLC considered the longest and most expensive

Implementaion

Within the Planning phase of the SDLC

Two steps are performed, project initiation (defined by the technical, economic and organizational feasibility studies) and project management (defined by a work plan and a project plan).

Within the SDLC, implementation is considered

a three step process, construction, installation and support plan

Waterfall Development

allows backward steps, but they're considered difficult.

Class discussion: In discussing large projects with multiple sub-projects in class, we learned that ________________ is vital to the success of the project and managing cost, schedule, and __________ are very important.

collaboration / scope

A Systems Analyst

develops ideas and suggestions for how information technology can improve business processes.

Parallel Development can be an advantage because its quick "idea to market approach"

gives less time for changes to occur in the business environment which avoids rework.

Design Phase decides how the system will operate

in terms of hardware, software, and network infrastructure.

Prototyping

is a three phase approach performing analysis, design, and implementation concurrently.

The Analysis Phase, within the SDLC,

is when the team determines and answers the questions of who will use the system, what will it do, and where and when it will be used.

UML, or the Unified Modeling Language, was developed to provide a standard set of programming techniques "rich enough to _________ any systems development project from _____________ to ______________." SAD w/ UML, 4th Edition, Dennis, Wixom, & Tegarden
