Give your solutions/answers to the following four problems.

For the problems with numbered questions answer each one under the text of the question (and do not lose the numbering or the text of the question).

Problem 1

You are a systems analyst and have been asked to facilitate the analysis and evaluation of several candidate system solutions for their feasibility.

Answer the following questions:

a) What set of criteria would you typically use?

b) Who (what parties) do you involve in this task?

c) Should you compare the candidate solutions against each other at this point?

d) Why or why not? (Re: question c)

e) What is the typical deliverable coming out of this task?

Problem 2

Your company president sits down besides you just before a meeting is to begin and tells you that people keep saying the customer needs to install a CRM, but does not really know what it is. The company president then asks you to explain it in nontechnical terms in the next 30 seconds. What do you tell him?

Problem 3

Answer the following questions regarding system requirements:

a) Is it important to prioritize system requirements, and if so, when should the system requirements be prioritized?

b) What is one technique that can be used, and what is the difference between mandatory and desirable requirements?

c) What is one way to test whether a mandatory requirement is truly a mandatory requirement?

Problem 4

Due to your excellent performance on the last project the CEO of your company is making you responsible for an even larger project. The CEO calls you in for a discussion regarding the importance of the project.

In the meeting the CEO tells you that the very survival of the organization may hinge upon completing this project and rolling out the new system to customers before a certain date before a competitor is expected to complete a similar project. The company can afford to budget only up to a certain maximum, although if other, less critical projects-in-progress are delayed, there may be some additional funding available if absolutely necessary. Finally, in order to be a competitive product in the market, the new system must contain at least a certain minimum feature set, although more would be desirable, and the quality must be of the highest level. At the conclusion of this discussion, the CEO shakes your hand and wishes you good luck.

Use the priorities set by the CEO to create an initial management expectations matrix.
