WGU C813 TASK 2: POST-
IMPLEMENTATION ASSESSMENT ACTUAL
EXAM PAPER 2026 QUESTIONS WITH
ANSWERS GRADED A+
◍ process interoperability.
Answer: coordinates business processes at org level to work together
◍ incremental development.
Answer: SDLC approach completes portions of system in small increments
across iterationseach increment being integrated into the whole as it is
completed
◍ dependent variable.
Answer: presumed to be influenced by one or more independent variablesex.
amount of studying (IV) affects test scores (dv)- a cause and effect
relationship between an independent variable and a dependent variable is
present when the changes to the independent variable tend to cause changes
to the dependent variable.***dependent variable sometimes called: outcome
variable or a response variable
◍ project planning.
Answer: plan, organize and schedule
◍ descriptive research.
Answer: (type of research objective)provide an accurate description or
picture of the status or characteristics of a situation or phenomenon.**focus
is not specifically on searching out cause-and-effect relationships, but rather
on relating the variables that exist in a given situation and any relevant
relationships that exist among them.
,◍ Design of Quantitative Studies.
Answer: Independent/dependent variables need to be related, internal
validity and external validity
◍ problem of induction.
Answer: the future might not resemble the past
◍ model abstraction.
Answer: representation of an important aspectpeople abstract (separate out)
an aspect that is of particular importance
◍ deployment.
Answer: install and use
◍ grounded theory.
Answer: purpose: inductively generating a theory describing a
phenomenonorigin: sociologydata collection and analysis: continual activity
running concurrent to analysis as interview and observational data are
distilled (or coded) and compared to build a working theory grounded in
collection dataresearch report: contains methodological description, then
proposed and discusses the grounded theory built during the research study
◍ reflection phase.
Answer: think about their data and results- what conclusions should you
draw and perhaps, what should be done next?- did your intervention work?-
what aspects worked and what didn't work?- can the intervention be
improved so that it will work better next time?- what needs to change in the
theory or explanation?
◍ system development life cycle.
Answer: SDLCconceiveddesignbuilddeployedproductionupdatemodifyrepair
◍ naturalistic inquiry.
Answer: studying real-world situations as they unfold naturally in a
non-manipulative and non-controlling way (without predetermined
constraints on findings)
,◍ theory in use.
Answer: individuals operative but often unconscious mental models
◍ support.
Answer: maintain and upgrade
◍ integrated development environments.
Answer: IDEsets of tools provide a comprehensive development and
programming environment for software developers
◍ Estimation.
Answer: researchers estimate the characteristics of populations based on
their sample data
◍ two main sources of knoweldge.
Answer: experience & reasoningexperience- empiricismreasoning-
rationalism- deductive reasoning- inductive reasoning
◍ privacy.
Answer: the control of others' access to information about you
◍ mixed methods sampling designs.
Answer: based on two criteria:time orientation (two types)sample
relationship (4 types)which equals 8 mixed method sampling designs
◍ Non-experimental research.
Answer: no manipulation of the independent variable and no random
assignmentsTwo categories : causal-comparative and correlational
◍ espoused theory.
Answer: individuals states reasons for their actions
◍ holistic perspective.
Answer: the whole phenomenon under study is understood as a complex
system that is more than the sum of its parts. The focus is on complex
interdependencies and system dynamics that cannot meaningfully be
reduced to a few discrete variables and linear, cause-effect relationships
, ◍ random assignment.
Answer: - assigning chosen group of people to random groups to be studied-
only used in experimental research- make a cause and effect statement of the
independent variable on dependent variableGOAL: producing comparison
groups similar on "all possible factors" at the beginning of the experiment
◍ Agile modeling (AM).
Answer: models created only as necessary, with a valid need and at the right
level of detailmeans to an end
◍ Semantic interoperability.
Answer: meaning of exchange data remains same on both endscritical for
clinical data
◍ method (parts of a research proposal).
Answer: not only focuses on explaining to the reader how the researcher
intends on collecting the needed information, but it also sells the reader on
the study design or plan constructed by showing how the research plan
allows the researcher to draw the inferences he or she intends*description of
the research CONTEXT AND PARTICIPANTS*DESIGN of the study*any
APPARATUS OR INSTRUMENTS to be used in data collection*procedure
for DATA COLLECTION
◍ HCIS.
Answer: healthcare information system
◍ implementation.
Answer: programming and testing
◍ project initiation.
Answer: identify problem, secure approval
◍ tool.
Answer: software application assists developers in creating models or other
components required for a projectmicrosoft projectproject portal
◍ visual modeling tools.
