B) Software licensing fees
C) Hardware purchases
D) Testing and debugging expenses

Operational costs that are examined during feasibility analysis include:
A) Salaries of developers
B) Equipment upgrades
C) Software licensing fees
D) Marketing expenses

The calculation that measures the amount of money an organization receives in return for the money it spends is called the _____.

The level of acceptance by the users of a system and the extent to which the new system will be incorporated into the operations of the organization are expressed in the _________ feasibility.

The project champion is a(n) ___________.

_______ is the process of planning and controlling the development of a system within a specified time frame at a minimum cost with the right functionality.

The most significant challenge to a project manager is _________.

A critical success factor for project managers is to__________.

The three steps of project management are ____________.

The _______ is a dynamic schedule that logs and monitors all of the tasks that need to be accomplished for the length of the project.

Diane needs to create a work plan for an upcoming systems project. She must first __________.

To identify the tasks for a work plan, the project manager can _______.

Project managers can develop a task list for a project with the help of _______.

Ryan, a newly hired systems analyst/consultant, is about to begin a system project. Where will Ryan look first to locate the identifiable tasks he will record in his work plan?

The process of assigning values for the first time and effort needed to perform a system project is called __________.

Kathryn has little experience estimating the time it will take to complete a systems project. She has just completed the planning phase of the project. What method should she use to estimate the time required to build the system?

One method of estimating project time is to use industry standards factors for each project phase. With this method, if the planning phase typically takes 15% of total project time, and a particular project requires three months for planning, then the remainder of the project will require ________.

A(n)______ is a measure of program size based on the number and complexity of inputs, outputs, queries, files, and program interfaces.

Function points are used to measure the estimated _____ of a project.

When estimating project time schedules using industry standards, the estimated project completion time for a system project would be _______ person-months if the actual planning phase were completed in 6 person-months.

A normal system with 400 unadjustable function points would have _____ adjusted function points when the shortcut is used to determine the complexity of the project.

When estimating project time schedules using industry standards, the estimated project completion time for a system project would be _______ person-months if the actual planning phase were completed in 6 person-months.

When using a function point estimation worksheet, there are 14 factors that impact the complexity of a project. These factors include ________.

Michelle has decided to use a shortcut to determine the complexity of the project she is currently managing. She has assigned the adjusted project complexity (PCA) a value of .65. She has determined that her project ________.

Adding people to a project team in order to speed up the total development time________.

Traditional Work Breakdown structures tend to ________.

Unlike traditional Work Breakdown (WBS), evolutionary WBSs are ________.

________ is an example of a a functional requirement.
A) The system should be aesthetically pleasing and visually appealing to users.
B) The system should be able to search all available inventory in order to determine whether a product can be made by a given date.
C) The system should be reliable and perform its intended functions without failure.
D) The system should be easily maintainable and adaptable to future changes.

Understanding the as-is system, identifying improvements, and developing requirements for that to-be system are the steps of the _______ phase.

The analysis strategy that results in the existing business process being left essentially the same, but with a new system that makes them more efficient is __________.

Which of the following analysis strategies is best?

The goal of ________ analysis is to make minor or moderate changes to the business processes so that they will become more efficient and effective.

The goal of _____ analysis strategy is to change the fundamental way the organization operates and to make major changes by taking advantage of new ideas, methods, and technology.

Which of the following analysis strategies incurs the highest risk yet has the potential to provide high value to the business?

The most comprehensive and complete deliverable of the analysis phase is ________.

Two BPA techniques commonly used to identify possible problems in the current system are ________.

Two BPI techniques used to identify possible improvements in the current system are _________.
