ITPEC FE Morning October 2020 Question 65
ITPEC FE Morning October 2020 — Question 65 of 80
Computerization Planning — identify activities in the earliest IT planning phase.
Computerization planning is the initial phase where an organization decides why and how to introduce an IT system. Key activities include defining roles and responsibilities between business and IT departments, planning the organizational structure for system development, and establishing the basis for cost calculation (development, operation, maintenance).
Why not others:
- (b) Describes external design — determining interfaces (screens, forms) based on requirements belongs to the design phase, not planning.
- (c) Describes system maintenance — analyzing modification requests and ensuring the system conforms to the business environment happens after deployment.
- (d) Describes system operation — startup/shutdown, monitoring, and file maintenance are operational tasks performed on a running system.
Key rule: Planning phase = roles, org structure, cost basis. Design = screens/forms. Operation = daily running. Maintenance = change management on a live system.
