Which activity belongs to business information management?

Question

Options

• Acomposing a functional design
• Bdefining the information policy
• Cexecuting system tests

• A
  16% (7)
• B
  72% (31)
• C
  12% (5)

Explanation

Defining the information policy (B) is a business information management activity because it involves setting organizational rules and guidelines for how information is created, stored, accessed, and used - a strategic, governance-level concern that sits at the business layer, not the IT layer.

Option A (composing a functional design) belongs to information systems development/design, where technical analysts translate requirements into system specifications - this is an IT discipline, not business information management.

Option C (executing system tests) is part of software testing within IT project execution, focused on verifying that a system works correctly - again an IT/technical activity rather than a business management one.

Memory tip: Think of business information management as the "what and why" of information at the organizational level (policy, strategy, governance), while IT activities handle the "how" (design, build, test). If the activity sounds like something a CIO or data governance board would decide, it's business information management.
