computer application (app) correct answers a computer software program that executes on a
computing device to carry out a specific set of functions or related functions
information system correct answers a set of interrelated computer components that collects,
processes, stores, and provides as output the information needed to complete business tasks
much broader in scope than an app
information systems development process correct answers the actual approach used to develop a
particular information system
iterative development correct answers an approach to system development in which the system is
"grown" piece by piece through multiple iterations (repetition)
,complete a small part of the system, then repeat to refine and add more, then repeat to refine and
add more, then repeat to refine and add more,
project correct answers a planned undertaking that has a beginning and an end, and that produces

detail the system that solves the need
it describes in detail "how" a system will work to satisfy the need or solve a problem
Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) correct answers the entire process consisting of all the
activities required to build, launch, and maintain an information system
six core information system development processes correct answers
Core Process 1: identify the problem or need and then obtain approval correct answers What
does the organization face that causes you to need a new information system?
, What is it you really are trying to solve?
Then you need to quantify all the information that would be needed in order to get management
approval to proceed with the project.
Doing that you also want to perform risk and feasibility analysis to make sure the project is
indeed feasible.
once you have all this information you can review it with the client and then the key step is to
obtain approval from the necessary stakeholders for management in order to continue with the
project as you have defined it.
Core Process 2: plan and then monitor the project as it's carried out correct answers establish the
project environment
go to get tools in place, people on the team and figure out who's going to be on the project, get
staffing completed, things like that.
schedule the work
You need to figure out who's going to be doing what and when.
You need to staff and allocate resources and then as you're going along you need to evaluate how
well the work processes have been going off and then continue to monitor progress and make
corrections to keep the project on track.
Core Process 3: discover and understand the details of the problem or need
