Which of the following is not a key component of the evaluation process in building a DSS? A. criteria for evaluation B. means of measuring system-development time spent on the project C. means of monitoring the progress of the DSS D. formal review process E. All of the above are key components

criteria for evaluation
means of measuring system-development time spent on the project
means of monitoring the progress of the DSS
formal review process E. All of the above are key components

The correct answer is: B. means of measuring system-development time spent on the project.

The other options are all key components of the evaluation process in building a DSS.

  • Criteria for evaluation are the standards against which the DSS will be judged. They should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.
  • Means of monitoring the progress of the DSS are used to track the development of the DSS and ensure that it is on track to meet its objectives.
  • Formal review process is used to assess the DSS and make recommendations for improvement.

The time spent on developing the DSS is not a key component of the evaluation process because it is not directly related to the quality of the DSS. A DSS can be developed quickly or slowly, but it is the quality of the DSS that matters most.
