ITPEC FE Morning October 2020 Question 65

Assigning roles between the business and information-system departments and setting the basis for costs — both are decided when the system is planned, before any design.

Computerization (systemization) planning sets the frame for a development: its scope and schedule, the organization that will build it (what the business departments and the information-system department each do), and the expected costs of development, operation and maintenance, with how they are calculated. Every later process works inside that frame.

Answer (a)

Why not others:

• •(b) — designing screens and forms from the requirements definition document is system design, which comes after requirements definition
• •(c) — keeping the system fit for the business and analysing the impact of modification requests is maintenance
• •(d) — planned startup, shutdown, monitoring and file maintenance, with checks that the business runs smoothly, is operation

Key rule: Planning fixes who does the work and how costs are counted; design decides what the system looks like; operation and maintenance keep it running and fit after release.
