Question 5

The situation that occurs when adding more resources creates inefficiencies is known as ________.
A)diseconomies of scale
B)marginal utility
C)marginal returns
D)diseconomies of scope

Accepted Answer

Diseconomies of scale occur when adding more resources leads to increased costs per unit of output, which means that the company becomes less efficient. This is typically due to issues such as communication problems, coordination difficulties, and decreased motivation among employees. As a result, the best course of action is to identify the causes of the inefficiencies and take steps to address them, such as improving communication channels, streamlining processes, and providing additional training to employees.

Question 9

According to the SDLC, progress of a business process goes in a linear sequence from requirements to design to implementation.This is called the ________.
A)waterfall method
B)swim-lane method
C)Scrum process
D)agile development

Accepted Answer

The linear sequence from requirements to design to implementation is characteristic of the waterfall method, which is a traditional approach to software development. The other options listed (swim-lane method, Scrum process, and agile development) involve different frameworks and methodologies for software development that do not necessarily follow a linear sequence.

Question 10

The rapid application development, the unified process, extreme programming, and Scrum are examples of ________.
A)waterfall method
B)swim-lane method
C)agile development
D)SLDC

Accepted Answer

The rapid application development, the unified process, extreme programming, and Scrum are all examples of agile development methodologies. The other options, waterfall method and swim-lane method, are traditional project management approaches that are linear and sequential. SLDC (System Development Life Cycle) is a general term that encompasses many different methodologies, including both agile and traditional approaches.

Question 11

The total number of points of work a team can accomplish in each Scrum period is called ________.
A)score
B)speed
C)velocity
D)degree

Accepted Answer

The term used in Scrum for the total work that a team can accomplish in each iteration is called "velocity." Score and speed are not specific to Scrum and are not typically used in this context. Degree could be used in other contexts, but it does not apply to measuring a team's work output in Scrum.

Accepted Answer

Configuration control is the set of policies, practices, and tools used by developers to maintain control over project resources, including code versions, documentation, requirements, and tests. It ensures that the project components are managed and tracked throughout the software development life cycle. Workflow control refers to managing the flow of work in a project, while version control is a subset of configuration control that manages code versions. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a widely used transport protocol for sending data across networks.

Question 14

Answer: Two kinds of arrows are used in swim-lane layout.Dotted arrows depict the flow of messages and data flows.Solid arrows depict the flow or sequence of the activities in the process.Some sequence flows have data associated with them as well.According to Figure 10-7, the customer sends an RFQ (request for quotation)to a salesperson (dotted arrow).That salesperson prepares a quotation in the first activity and then (solid arrow)submits the quotation back to the customer.You can follow the rest of the process in this diagram.Allocate inventory means that if the items are available, they are allocated to the customer so that they will not be sold to someone else.
