  2. Size of the company

  3. Failure of systems integration

  4. Both (1) and (3)

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Systems development projects often fail due to inadequate user involvement, which leads to mismatched requirements and poor adoption. Systems integration failure is another major factor, as connecting different components and technologies is complex and error-prone. Company size alone is not a direct cause of project failure.

Multiple choice
  1. Data, architecture and procedural designs

  2. Architecture, procedural and interface designs

  3. Data, architecture, interface and procedural designs

  4. Data, architecture and interface designs

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The design phase encompasses four key components: data design (how information is organized), architecture design (system structure and components), interface design (user and system interactions), and procedural design (algorithms and processing logic). Omitting any of these would result in an incomplete design.

Multiple choice
  1. MTBF

  2. RMAN

  3. MTTR

  4. Evolutionary Process

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

MTTR (Mean Time To Recovery) measures the average time required to recover from a failure and restore normal operations. When management prioritizes minimizing downtime, focusing on MTTR is critical because it directly represents business disruption time. MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) measures reliability, not recovery speed. RMAN is a tool, not a business requirement. Evolutionary Process is unrelated to backup/recovery strategy.
