An ER diagram is?
What is...
a type of flowchart that illustrates how “entities” such as people, objects or concepts relate to each other within a system.

The relevance of making a prototype is...
What is...
Prototypes provide quick feedback: Customers are more likely to view and react to a prototype vs reading the SRS.
The prototype displays unanticipated aspects of the system's behavior. Thus, it produces not only answers but also new questions. This helps reach closure on the SRS.
An SRS based on a prototype tends to undergo less change during development, thus shortening development time.

The difference between waterfall and agile
What is...
Agile is an incremental and iterative approach;
Waterfall is a linear and sequential approach.
Agile separates a project into sprints; Waterfall divides a project into phases.
Agile helps complete many small projects; Waterfall helps complete one single project

Definition of the interaction theory
What is..
Interaction theory states that systems that centralize control over data are resisted in organizations with decentralized authority structures, systems that alter the balance of power in organizations will be resisted by those who lose power and accepted by those who gain power, and resistance arise from the interaction of technical design features of systems with the social context in which the systems are used.
The political variant in the interaction theory is that information systems embody a distribution of interorganizational power among the key actors affected by its design.

Differences between Enterprise Software and Collaboration Software?
What is...
Enterprise software:
- Relatively rigid, focuses on larges business processes, handle enterprise core functions and customer in focus
Collaboration software:
- Relatively flexible, allow ad-hoc collaboration and set in the heart of the enterprise communication function

Difference between requirement specifications in plan based and agile processes.
What is…
Plan-based projects strive to early define requirements that are correct, unambiguous, complete, consistent, prioritized, verifiable, modifiable, and traceable.
Agile projects let requirements emerge over time through iterations and ongoing customer interaction.

The three types of cloud services?
What is...
SaaS (software as a service) Target group: end users.
PaaS (Platform as a service) Target group: Developers, External or internal
IaaS (Infrastructure as a service) Target group: infrastructure department or any one needs computing resources.

The three theories of resistance according to Markus M. L. (1983) in the text “power, politics and MIS implementation”
What is...
- the person or subunit may be believed to have resisted because of factors internal to the person or group, so the person’s behavior is determined internally.
- the person or group may believe to have resisted because of factors inherent in the application or system being implemented, so the people’s behavior are determine externally by the environment or by technology.
- People or group resist systems because of an interaction between characteristics related to the people and characteristics related to the systems.

3 pros and 3 cons of agile?
What is...
Pros:
More adaptive and applicable to almost any project in some way, as well as more welcoming to changing requirements late in the development
Frequent feedback (iterative development, frequent testing, focus on working software rather than documentation)
Self-organizing teams (high autonomy, focus on responding to change rather than following a plan)
People are more involved in the whole process and therefore more motivated
Cons:Poor resource planning.
Limited documentation.
Fragmented output.
No finite end.
Difficult measurement.

The three dimensions in the mandatory Walz text (Inside a Software Design Team: Knowledge Acquisition, Sharing, and Integration)
What is...
First dimension: acquiring, sharing, and integrating the necessary knowledge for the design task (getting up to speed).
Second dimension: integrating the knowledge into a shared understanding of the application and the design (creating the team memory)
Third dimension: The role of individuals in these activities.
