Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

The development group of a firm's information systems (IS) department manages the
process of creating new information systems as well as maintaining existing information
systems. The size and structure of the development group depends on whether programs are
developed in-house. If not, this department will be staffed primarily by business and systems
analysts who work with users, operations, and vendors to acquire and install licensed software
and to set up the system components around that software. If the organization develops programs
in-house, then this department will also include programmers, test engineers, technical writers,
and other development personnel.
