Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept: The systems analysis phase of the SDLC produces an analysis report with a conventionally fixed scope: it documents the current information system, defines the requirements the new system must satisfy, and proposes a development schedule for building it. Training the eventual users of the new system is treated as a separate concern, planned and covered under systems implementation rather than as part of this report.
Application: Checking each option against this scope:
The current information system -- within scope, since analysis begins by documenting the existing system as the baseline for comparison.
The requirements for a new system -- within scope, since defining what the new system must accomplish is the central purpose of this stage.
The development schedule -- within scope, since a proposed timeline for building the new system is part of the analysis deliverable used for planning and approval.
The training requirements for users -- outside this scope, since training is treated as a concern of systems implementation, not of the analysis report.
Cross-check: This report's defined scope is bounded to exactly three deliverables -- the current system, the new system's requirements, and the development schedule. Training is a distinct deliverable that belongs to the later systems-implementation phase under this convention, so of the four options it is the one this particular report does not cover.
