Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) - correct answer ✔The traditional
methodology used to develop, maintain, and replace information systems.
Logical design - correct answer ✔functional features of the system chosen
for development in analysis are described independently of any computer
platform
Physical design - correct answer ✔technology-specific details from which all
programming and system construction can be accomplished
Agile Methodologies - correct answer ✔-Adaptive rather than predictive
-Emphasize people rather than roles
-Self-adaptive processes
eXtreme Programming - correct answer ✔Short, incremental development
cycles.
Two-person programming teams
Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD - correct answer ✔Based on
objects rather than data or processes
Reuse - correct answer ✔The use of previously written software resources,
especially objects and components, in new applications
-Object-oriented development
-Component-based development
, Gantt Charts vs. Network Diagrams - correct answer ✔Gantt charts
-Show task durations.
-Show time overlap.
Network diagrams
-Show task dependencies.
-Do not show time overlap, but show parallelism.
PM Phase 1: Project Initiation - correct answer ✔Assess size, scope and
complexity, and establish procedures.
PM Phase 2: Project Planning - correct answer ✔Define clear, discrete
activities and the work needed to complete each activity.
PM Phase 3: Project Execution - correct answer ✔Plans created in prior
phases are put into action.
PM Phase 4: Project Closedown - correct answer ✔Bring the project to an
end.
Top-down source - correct answer ✔projects identified by top management
or by a diverse steering committee.
Bottom-up source - correct answer ✔project initiatives stemming from
managers, business units, or the development group
Level-0 diagram - correct answer ✔data flow diagram that represents a
system's major processes, data flows, and data stores at a high level of detail.
