Question

Roark has just joined a company and in his role as a lead analyst, he will be responsible for determining which systems development method the team uses to create a new application for a major medical supplier. It is a new day at the firm. Roark has been in place for a few weeks, strengthening the communications skills of his employees, getting them to work much better together. Now, the challenge that he faces is not an internal one; it lies with the client, which is increasingly incapable of sticking with decisions. Roark, based on his past experience with other clients like this, is afraid that the client will throw them a curveball and want to make changes late in the game—but that they also will be unwilling to absorb the costs of those changes. For this reason, which method of development will Roark eliminate?

A. Structured analysisB. Agile/adaptive methodsC. Object-oriented analysisD. Rapid application development

Answer 1

A. Structured analysis

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that in this scenario Roark would eliminate Structured Analysis. This is mainly due to the fact that this method focuses on following a pre-defined set of guidlines or diagram that is easily understood and helps develop the system. This would be eliminated because this method needs to be strictly followed in order to achieve the pre-set end result, but since Roark knows that the client will want to change things late in production, then this method will become useless.
