| A. | The design team attempts to assess whether the anticipated benefits of the system exceed its projected costs |
| B. | One way to examine the operating efficiency of a particular system |
| C. | The phrase used to describe delays in meeting the schedule for delivering a systems project |
| D. | A scaled-down, experimental version of a nonexistent information system that a design team can develop cheaply and quickly for user-evaluation purposes |
| E. | One of the four stages in the SDLC |
| F. | The longest-path to project completion and also the shortest completion time of the entire project |
| G. | For this phase of the system study, the design team must analyze the capabilities of current employees to perform the specific functions required by each proposed system and determine to what extent employees will require specialized training |
| H. | The amount of delay time that can occur in each non-critical activity and still not delay the project |
| I. | One important part of this work is to separate symptoms from causes |
| J. | Software from independent vendors that comes bundled (i.e. combined) with hardware |
| K. | Conversion to a new system where the organization immediately discontinues use of the old system and uses the new system |
| L. | Conversion to a new system where the organization operates both the new and the old system for some period of time |
| M. | Software that interfaces with suppliers and customers |
| N. | This phase of a systems study requires the design team to estimate how long it will take a new or revised system to become operational |
| O. | Useful for both scheduling and tracking the activities of systems implementation projects because actual progress can be contrasted with the planned progress |
| P. | Includes an enterprise system, any specialized information systems, or other separate systems for functional areas such as accounting, marketing, and human resources |
| Q. | Computer experts typically work on this phase of the feasibility evaluation because a thorough understanding of IT is essential |
| R. | A new or revised system should comply with all applicable federal and state statutes about financial reporting requirements, as well as the companys contractual obligation |
| S. | Systems work where the design team determines the practicality of alternative proposals |
| T. | The most difficult issue in implementing a new system |
| U. | A project leader first prepares a list of systems implementation activities, identifies the prerequisite activities that must be completed before others can start, and estimates the amount of time required to complete each activity |
| V. | Conversion to a new system where the new system is implemented in stages |
