Study Notes
- Work breakdown structure (WBS) does not allow managing a project as one large task.
- Pareto chart a.k.a. scatter diagram, serves as a problem-solving tool.
- The purpose of an interview and preliminary investigation is to uncover facts, not to merely justify a project.
- System software manages data flow, ensures data security, and handles network operations.
- A knowledge base in a knowledge management system uses logical rules to pinpoint data patterns and relationships.
- Neither PERT aka CPM stands for "Predictal Pact Method" , nor Gantt charts are mutually exclusive techniques.
- A system developer can intiate a formal project as soon as the preliminary investigation stage or later on as analysis, design, and implementation occur.
- Review Technique Critical Path Method.
- Quantitative risk analysis is to find out the accurate risks.
- System Request is a true statement.
- Information system's data are not information that has been transformed into a variable.
- A project is not certain to fail if the project manager fails to plan, staff, organize, communicate, motivate, and evaluate.
- Feasibility analysis is an ongoing task during business development.
- Accessibility analysis is an ongoing task throughout the project.
- The responsibilites of a systems analyst at a small firm are not the same as those at a large corporation.

- In an information system, data is information transformed into input which provides value to users.
- User support offers technical information, training, and productivity.
- When planning an information system, a company must consider how a new system will interface with older systems, which are called horizontal systems.
- Hardware consists of components in the physical layer of an information system.
- Company-wide applications, known as legacy applications, include order processing, payroll, and company communications networks.
