ITPEC FE Subject A April 2024 Question 12

Capacity Planning Sequence — order work items when adding a new task to an existing monitored system.

Correct sequence: (iii) → (iv) → (ii) → (i)

• •(iii) Assess current system — review hardware performance from existing monitoring data
• •(iv) Gather requirements — meet users, understand the new task (process count, time needed)
• •(ii) Propose configuration — determine server count, parallel processing based on current state + new requirements
• •(i) Evaluate and review — assess whether the proposed configuration is appropriate

Why not others:
- (a) (iii),(ii),(iv),(i) — proposes configuration before gathering user requirements
- (c) (iv),(ii),(i),(iii) — gathers requirements before checking current system state
- (d) (iv),(iii),(i),(ii) — evaluates before proposing; puts requirements before current state assessment

Key rule: For an already-monitored system: Current state first → Requirements → Propose → Review.
