Answer: B
A quality plan is an essential element of all projects. It
is critical that the contracted supplier be required to
produce such a plan. The quality plan for the proposed
development contract should be comprehensive and encompass
all phases of the development and include which business
functions will be included and when. Acceptance is normally
managed by the user area, since they must be satisfied that
the new system will meet their requirements. If the system
is large, a phased-in approach to implementing the
application is a reasonable approach. Prototyping is a valid
method of ensuring that the system will meet business
requirements.
