Systems Development Life Cycle
10 important questions on Systems Development Life Cycle
What are traditional problems in IS development? Explain if possible.
- Underestimating the maintenance cost: maintenance cost is big part of the total costs
- Insufficient analysis: you should do enough analysis upfront, the later you find an error the more it will cost
- Project estimation and planning
What are the problems for doing cost estimation?
- New by definition
- Influencing factors
- New technologies
- Scope creep
What steps are in the information systems life cycle?
2. System analysis: What are the elements of the problem?
3. System design: try to figure out the solution.
4. System implementation
(5. System maintenance)
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What is the phasing principle?
In every phase you do the following:
- You check to results of the previous phase
- You check the network of activities
- You check the techniques
- You check the delivarable items
- You monitor and manage
- You have a final report
Eventually you approve the decision
What are the delivarable items of the phasing principle?
For the system analysis phase this will be the Funtional Specification: project plan (time and budget), quality management plan, acceptance test specification
For the system design phase this will be the System Design Specification: a refined project plan, a refined quality management plan
And for the system production phase this will be modules and program code: so user documentation, and acceptance test description
What does RAD and JAD stand for?
JAD = Joint Application Design
What are (next to the traditional development) other alternative design methods for the system?
What are disadvantages of prototyping?
The system can always be improved, it never stops
What are the two types of prototyping? Explain them.
- Throw-away prototyping: prototype till you know what you want and built it in real. In reality there is not time for this.
What is incremental development?
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
