1. The use of CASE tools aids analysts in enhancing their routine work because all project-related data is kept in a database known as
the CASE repository, which is a sizable collection of records, elements, diagrams, screens, reports, and other data. The CASE
tools enable systems analysts to create complex client/server applications and databases through graphical planning, analysis, and
design.

2. It is recommended to use a network diagram in creating the target starting and ending dates for the project. We can use network
diagram when tasks can be worked on independently of other tasks.

3. Communication is the most crucial skill for project management. The ability to read body language, tone, and word choice is
another essential communication skill. Project managers communicate with all team members in a clear, sensitive manner and
strive for clarity. An effective communicator can help their teams work more productively and efficiently by setting clear
expectations and directives.

4. Cloud computing services provides application delivery over the Internet, allowing users to access the applications without having
to purchase the hardware and software resources necessary to run and maintain them.

5. Agile project management enables team members to change their work process or product as they see fit while they are working
on it. By limiting the number of changes that must be made during a sprint, an agile system's predictability could be increased.
This might make the progress a little easier and smoother so that the sprint's initial prediction can be realized.
