Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
Effective user involvement is the most critical factor in ensuring that the application meets business objectives.
A great way of getting early input from the user community is by using Prototyping. The prototyping method was formally introduced in the early 1980s to combat the perceived weaknesses of the waterfall model with regard to the speed of development. The objective is to build a simplified version (prototype) of the application, release it for review, and use the feedback from the users review to build a second, better version.
This is repeated until the users are satisfied with the product. t is a four-step process: initial concept, design and implement initial prototype, refine prototype until acceptable, and complete and release final version.
There is also the Modified Prototype Model (MPM. This is a form of prototyping that is ideal for Web application development. It allows for the basic functionality of a desired system or component to be formally deployed in a quick time frame. The maintenance phase is set to begin after the deployment. The goal is to have the process be flexible enough so the application is not based on the state of the organization at any given time. As the organization grows and the environment changes, the application evolves with it, rather than being frozen in time.
