When we have the right software product, we say the software product is ____.
-
Verified
-
Validated
-
Certified
Correct Answer
A. ValidatedExplanation
When we have the right software product, we say the software product is validated. Validation refers to the process of evaluating a system or component during or at the end of the development process to determine whether it satisfies the specified requirements. It ensures that the software product meets the intended purpose and functions correctly. Verification, on the other hand, is the process of evaluating a system or component to determine whether it complies with the specified requirements.

When we have the software product done right, we say the software product is ____.
-
Verified
-
Validated
-
Certified
Correct Answer
A. VerifiedExplanation
When we say that a software product is "verified," it means that the product has undergone a thorough review and analysis to ensure that it meets the specified requirements and functions as intended. Verification involves checking the software against predetermined criteria, such as design specifications and coding standards, to identify any defects or discrepancies. It focuses on the technical aspects of the software and aims to confirm its correctness. Therefore, the term "verified" accurately describes a software product that has been carefully examined and deemed to be in compliance with the established standards and requirements.Rate this question:

The people involved are not collaborative, and morale drops
Correct Answer(s)
A. Product implementation errors may not show up until software coding is finished and tested
A. The product may not satisfy the end users
A. The people involved are not collaborative, and morale dropsExplanation
The potential risks to the project include product implementation errors that may not be detected until software coding is completed and tested, which can lead to delays and additional costs. Another risk is that the product may not meet the expectations or needs of the end users, resulting in dissatisfaction and potential loss of customers. Additionally, if the people involved in the project are not collaborative and there is a drop in morale, it can negatively impact the project's progress and overall success.Rate this question:

-
Requirements are defined: task times are estimated: tasks are assigned
-
Risks are identified; risks are monitored; overcommitment can be avoided
Correct Answer
A. Tasks are determined; tasks are assigned; schedule are createdExplanation
The direct benefits or outcomes of using planning include determining tasks that need to be completed, assigning those tasks to specific individuals, and creating a schedule for when the tasks should be completed. This helps to ensure that everyone involved in the project knows what needs to be done, who is responsible for each task, and when each task should be completed. By having a clear plan in place, it becomes easier to track progress, manage resources, and meet project deadlines.Rate this question:

Correct Answer(s)
A. Developers.
A. Software product manager.Explanation
Developers and software product managers are responsible for creating time estimates. Developers have the technical knowledge and expertise to understand the complexity of the tasks involved in a project and can provide accurate estimates based on their experience. Software product managers, on the other hand, have a holistic understanding of the project requirements and can collaborate with developers to create realistic time estimates. The client and the CEO may have input in the process, but they are not directly responsible for creating time estimates.Rate this question:

You need to effectively monitor, analyze, and review the progress of your project, so you:
-
Can boost morale before crunch time comes
-
Use your gut feeling to assess the project status.
-
Monitor velocity to help in continuously adjusting plans.
-
Track ongoing work to ensure management knows the status.
Correct Answer
A. Monitor velocity to help in continuously adjusting plans.Explanation
Monitoring velocity is an effective way to continuously adjust plans in a project. Velocity refers to the rate at which work is being completed by the team. By tracking velocity, project managers can assess the team's productivity and progress. If the velocity is lower than expected, it may indicate that adjustments need to be made to the project plans, such as allocating more resources or reevaluating timelines. On the other hand, if the velocity is higher, it may suggest that the team is performing well and additional tasks can be assigned. Monitoring velocity allows for proactive decision-making and helps ensure that the project stays on track.Rate this question:
