Answer 1

Answer:

The option is B. Project manager with input from systems analyst.

Explanation:

A project manager is an individual who has the overall responsibility for the successful initiation, planning, design, execution, monitoring, controlling and closure of a project.

The roles of a project manager include, but not limited to:

• Planning and Defining Scope

• Activity Planning and Sequencing

• Resource Planning

• Developing Schedules

• Time Estimating

• Cost Estimating

• Developing a Budget

• Documentation

• Creating Charts and Schedules

• Risk Analysis

However, Project Managers can not work alone, they will therefore work with experts and people who are skilled in their field. They will form a team that will report to the project manager, and work together to ensure the success of the project.

From the explanations above, we can conclude that the systems analyst will only provide input that will help the project manager in making decisions about the management of the project.
