Project Management 1

Which of the following is a disadvantage of the waterfall model?

• Early risk resolution

• Flexibility in requirements

• Protracted integration and late design breakage

• Frequent stakeholder involvement

What is the primary focus of conventional software management?

• Flexibility in development processes

• Adapting to changing requirements

• Managing risks early

• Following a fixed plan and schedule

Which analysis found that only about 10% of software projects are delivered

successfully within budget and schedule estimates?

• Conventional Software Management

• Software Economics

• Pragmatic Software Cost Estimation

• Improving Software Economics

The relationship between effort and size in software development exhibits a diseconomy

of scale due to:

• Process exponent being less than 1.0

• Process exponent being greater than 1.0

• Linear relationship between effort and size

• Inverse relationship between effort and size

Which of the following is NOT one of Barry Boehm's "Industrial Software Metrics Top

10 List"?

• Finding and fixing a software problem after delivery costs 100 times more than

  fixing it in early design phases.

• You can compress software development schedules by 50% of nominal.

• Software systems typically cost 3 times as much per SLOC as individual software

  programs.

• Walkthroughs catch 60% of errors.

What is the most significant way to improve affordability and ROI in software

development?

• Increasing software quality

• Reducing software product size

• Increasing automation

• Improving team effectiveness

Which of the following is NOT a component-based development technique?

• Reuse of commercial components

• Use of assembly language

• Object-oriented technology

• Automatic code production

In software cost estimation, which factor is considered the most critical in determining

project success?

• The number of lines of code

• The choice of programming language

• The capabilities of the software engineering personnel

• The level of automation used

Which principle is a key aspect of modern software management?

• Adherence to a strict waterfall process

• Avoiding iterative development

• Architecture-first approach

• Fixed requirements before development

Which of the following is a principle of modern software management?

• Plan for a single large-scale release

• Emphasize early and frequent delivery of working software

• Strictly avoid changes during the development process

• Use the same tools throughout the software life cycle
