2. The implementation committee learns about the capabilities of a new wireless system.
3. A timeline is developed to determine who will do necessary tasks for the implementation of each project phase.
4. A committee is formed to guide the implementation of a new wireless system.

Correct Answer: 3

Rationale 1: The correct answer is “a timeline is developed to determine who will do necessary tasks for the implementation of each project phase.” A WBS is needed to clearly address all necessary tasks required to implement a new system and includes a timeline for implementation of the project. At this point in the project cycle the committee has already been selected and has an understanding of the new system. Project planning software is used mainly to manage timelines and scheduling of tasks.

Rationale 2: The correct answer is “a timeline is developed to determine who will do necessary tasks for the implementation of each project phase.” A WBS is needed to clearly address all necessary tasks required to implement a new system and includes a timeline for implementation of the project.

1. A newsletter for users is posted yearly in accessible sites for new information
2. A help desk provides 24/7 telephone user support for employees
3. Users given internet access and procedure manual to troubleshoot problems
4. A list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) posted on a password protected site

Correct Answer: 2

Rationale 1: The correct answer is “a help desk provides 24/7 telephone user support for employees.” During maintenance, the help desk personnel should be available 24/7. Other ways of providing information and answering questions should also be implemented. A yearly newsletter is not published enough to support the organization.

Rationale 2: During maintenance, the help desk personnel should be available 24/7. Other ways of providing information and answering questions should also be implemented.

Rationale 3: The correct answer is “a help desk provides 24/7 telephone user support for employees.” During maintenance, the help desk personnel should be available 24/7. Other ways of providing information and answering questions should also be implemented. A manual can be more user friendly than users searching the internet for answers to questions.

Rationale 4: The correct answer is “a help desk provides 24/7telephone user support for employees.” During maintenance, the help desk personnel should be available 24/7. Other ways of providing information and answering questions should also be implemented.
