Feasibility vs Requirements report (1 Viewer)

[swagmeister]

Thought I would post here and not in the HSC Exam thoughts forum because this discussion may be useful for 2016ers.

#8, there are arguments for and against a requirements report and feasibility study report.

Does anyone have any thoughts on WHY the answer would be a specific one?

(I'll explain what I think later - don't want to "brainwash" anyone...)

update: looks like it ended up in this forum anyway haha

Ah didn't know the already put the exams up but yeah, after reading the question again, I realise more how stupid it is lol.

A and D could be an answer for the "time frame of the project", but the rest don't match with gantt chart
B could be the answer for the "purpose of the upgrade"
C could be the answer for the "analysis of the existing system"

One thing I didn't notice at the top was 'a review for upgrading the system...'

This gives it away as feasibility I think?

It might be requirements report as that's built AFTER the requirements prototype so the report can also be used to review the system?

Eliminating the obvious-
a) Gantt chart is just a project timeline so won't help with this.

Isn't it a requirements report?

c) Feasibility Study is whether something is possible

Therefore for me it's either b) or d). I think the logical answer would be b) as a requirements report is what people actually want in terms of features, cost, price, etc vs their current system... but then a communications management plan could include those things for the purpose of detailing the purpose of the upgrade, analysis, etc...

i put b

In terms of something being possible, that's where the 'considering upgrading' bit fits in...

I'm going with B) Requirements Report.

 

[BlueGas]

By the way, this is from the syllabus:

interpret a requirements report which
includes:
– the purpose of the systems
– an analysis of an existing system
– definition of extra requirements

 

[BlueGas]

This is also from the syllabus:

the requirements report that:
– details the time frame
– details the subprojects and the time
frame for them
– identifies participants
– identifies relevant information
technology
– identifies data/information
– identifies the needs of users

 

[swagmeister]

Ah yup, hadn't heard of the first part being in the syllabus but now that I think of it it did come up in 2 different areas.

Oh well, still got 18/20 on MC so I'm fine with that

Time to move on from this now and focus on other things haha

What was the other question you got wrong?

I put requirements report

 

[swagmeister]

What was the other question you got wrong?

The data reliability one, I chose backups which was incorrect

 

[BlueGas]

What was the correct answer then?

 

[swagmeister]

What was the correct answer then?

The checking of their details.

The annoying this is that reliability could be interpreted in either way...
