As use cases are being written, the analyst notes the following within the requirements:
“The system shall be capable of providing specific processing commands for up to 50 devices
concurrently, each of which must control up to 10,000 items per minute.” The analyst knows that
this requirement is for more throughput than previous systems and is key to the success of the
system as a whole.
What action BEST reduces risk on the project?

A.
Continue to develop use cases and related designs, scheduling the use cases related to the
throughput earlier in the overall schedule.

B.
Work with end users to prepare a contingency plan in case the throughput cannot be achieved.

C.
Take no special action. It is too early to consider performance issues during the analysis phase.

D.
Develop a feasibility prototype as soon as practical.
