Practice Question(s)! of the Week: Information System Lifecycle.

We’ve been slacking lately with putting out the practice question of the week, so in this week’s post, we’re adding not one question, not two questions, but three practice questions! Awesome!

And they all have to do with the information system lifecycle.

A lot of our recent time has been devoted to developing material that may be used for a future course, so we’re going to go ahead and give that a test drive today and let out one of our 50+ slide decks fo’ free.
