he effective use of a DMZ is one of the primary methods of securing an organization's networks. True False
true
n ideal organization fosters resilience to change. _________________________ True False
true
The work breakdown structure (WBS) can only be prepared with a complex, specialized desktop PC application. True False
false
When an estimate is flawed, as when the number of effort-hours required is underestimated, the plan should be corrected and downstream tasks updated to reflect the change. True False
true
proven method for prioritizing a program of complex change is the bull's-eye method. True False
true
The __________ layer of the bull's-eye model receives attention last. a.Systems b.Policies c.Networks d.Applications
applications
The __________ methodology has been used by many organizations and requires that issues be addressed from the general to the specific, and that the focus be on systematic solutions instead of individual problems. a.direct changeover b.bull's-eye c.wrap-up d.parallel
bull's-eye
direct ___ changeover____ involves stopping the old system and starting the new one without any overlap.
changeover
The bull's-eye model can be used to evaluate the sequence of steps taken to integrate parts of the information security blueprint into a project plan. True False
true
The primary drawback to the direct changeover approach is that if the new system fails or needs modification, users may be without services while the system's bugs are worked out. True False
true
The size of the organization and the normal conduct of business may preclude a large training program on new security procedures or technologies. True False
true
Weak management support, with overly delegated responsibility and no champion, sentences a project to almost-certain failure. True False
true
Project managers can reduce resistance to change by involving employees in the project plan. In the systems development parts of a project, this is referred to as __________. a.JAD b.SDLC c.WBS d.DMZ
JAD
Some cases of __________ are simple, such as requiring employees to begin using a new password on an announced date. a.direct changeover b.wrap-up c.phased implementation d.pilot implementation
direct changeover
The parallel operations strategy works well when an isolated group can serve as a test area, which prevents any problems with the new system dramatically interfering with the performance of the organization as a whole. True False
false
ach for-profit organization determines its capital budget and the rules for managing capital spending and expenses the same way. True False
false
he networks layer of the bull's eye is the outermost ring of the bull's eye. True False
false
very organization needs to develop an information security department or program of its own. True False
false
Technology __________ guides how frequently technical systems are updated, and how technical updates are approved and funded. a.changeover b.wrap-up c.governance d.turnover
governance
In a __________ implementation, the entire security system is put in place in a single office, department, or division before expanding to the rest of the organization. a.parallel b.loop c.direct d.pilot

Tasks or action steps that come after the task at hand are called ______.
successors
Tasks or action steps that come after the task at hand are called __________. a.successors b.predecessors c.parents d.children
successors
A task or subtask becomes a(n) action step when it can be completed by one individual or skill set and when it includes a single deliverable. _________________________ True False
true
Corrective action decisions are usually expressed in terms of trade-offs. _________________________ True False
true
Once a project is underway, it is managed using a process known as gap analysis, which ensures that progress is measured periodically. _________________________ True False
