BUS 188 Final Exam With 100% Correct
And Verified Answers
In the sub‐section titled, "Which
development processes are used for which" it
discusses the
history of the development of SDLC
(waterfall) and agile (we looked at scrum).
Also see the
slides - Correct Answer-Scrum is a new
development process that was created to
overcome the problems that occur when
using the SDLC.
SDLC (waterfall method) is used to develop
information systems and applications
Scrum can be used for the development (and
adaptation) of business processes,
information systems, and applications.
o An application is which of the 5 components
of an information system? - Correct Answer-
An application is a combination of hardware,
software, and data components.
o What are roles, data flows, and control
flows? - Correct Answer-Roles- Collections of
activities and resources which are people or
computer apps that are assigned to roles.
Control Flow- Directs order of activities. Data
Vendarsol
,Flow- Shows the movement of data among
activities and repositories.
o What is the "as‐is" model? How does it fit
into business process management? - Correct
Answer-As-Is Model (P.463): Begins by
creating a model of the existing business
process.
o What are the three reasons that the author
gives for managing business processes? -
Correct Answer-Improve Business Quality
Has two dimensions: Efficiency( use of
resources) and effectiveness (accomplish
strategy). Reason for changing process is
because it has efficiency or effectiveness
problems.
Change in Technology
Change in Business Fundamentals
o What is a pool? What does a swimlane
represent? - Correct Answer-Simplifies the
process diagram and draws attention to
interactions among components of the
diagram. Each role in the business process is
given it's own swim lane.
o How are the following represented in
BPMN: start and end, activities, decisions,
control flows and data flowss? - Correct
Vendarsol
, Answer-decisions: diamonds data flows;
dashed lines, activities: squares, control
flows: solid lines, start: open circle and end
activities: bolded circle
o Which can appear in the customer lane or
the lane for an external entity? - Correct
Answer-data flows can go to the customer but
not control flows
o How is a sub‐process represented in the
model? - Correct Answer-An activity in a
square with a plus sign- this means that the
activity is considered to be a subprocess of
this process and that it is defined in greater
detail in another diagram
Which of the 5 phases of SDLC includes the programming and
testing of the components? - Correct Answer-1.Define system:
goals and scope, assess feasibility (cost, schedule, technical,
organizational), form project team, plan project
2. Determining requirements (MOST important): conduct user
interviews, evaluate existing systems, determine new forms,
reports, queries, identify new application features and functions,
consider security, create data model, consider all five components
3. Design components: hardware and program specifications,
design database and procedures, create job definitions
4. Implementation: Build system components, conduct unit test,
integrate components, conduct test, convert to new system (THIS
includes programming and testing of components)
