Chapter 7: System Implementation

What is the main goal of system implementation?

• To evaluate system performance

• To ensure the new system is successfully deployed

• To create system documentation

• To train users on old systems

Which phase of the system development life cycle (SDLC) is system implementation?

• First

• Second

• Fifth

• Fourth

What is one of the main activities involved in system implementation?

• Coding and testing the new system

• Conducting market research

• Creating user manuals

• Developing new software

What is a key difference between system documentation and user documentation?

• User documentation is prepared by system analysts, system documentation is prepared by users

• System documentation describes system features, user documentation teaches users how to use the system

• User documentation is more technical than system documentation

• System documentation is for end users, user documentation is for IT staff

What is a disadvantage of self-training?

• Requires supervision

• Less effective

• High cost

• Time-consuming

Which training method involves learning on one's own, typically through manuals or online tutorials?

• Vendor In-House Training

• Outside or Public Training

• Self-Training

• Group Training

What is the purpose of providing training during system implementation?

• To create documentation

• To ensure users know how to use the new system

• To reduce costs

• To evaluate system performance

What is a characteristic of a parallel run changeover method?

• Only the new system is used

• It requires no training

• Both old and new systems run simultaneously

• It is the quickest method

What is a potential risk of direct changeover?

• Higher resource requirements

• Increased training costs

• Inability to revert to the old system

• Longer implementation time

What is one advantage of a pilot run changeover?

• Errors can be localized and corrected easily

• It is the most expensive method

• It requires no training

• It is the fastest method
