Question #: 23
Topic #: 7

In a multi-user design One group usually develops the systems for use by another group

ATrue

BFalse

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

In a multi-user design, one group usually develops the systems for use by another group. This is because different groups of users may have different needs, preferences, and expectations for the system. For example, a system that is designed for the accounting department may not be suitable for the marketing department, or a system that is designed for the managers may not be user-friendly for the employees. Therefore, a multi-user design involves identifying the target users, analyzing their requirements, designing the system accordingly, and testing the system with the users. A multi-user design also requires coordination and communication among the developers and the users, as well as among different user groups, to ensure that the system meets the needs and expectations of all stakeholders.Reference:Multi-User Operating System - GeeksforGeeks;Multiple Group Design: Definition & Examples - Study.com;Chapter 10: Information Systems Development

I'm a little confused by this one. I know there's usually some separation between development and users, but I'm not sure if that's always the case. I'll have to review my notes and try to come up with some examples to figure this out.

Okay, I've got a strategy for this. I'll think through some examples of multi-user designs I'm familiar with and see if the development and user groups are distinct. That should help me determine the right answer.
