1. IT Executive;
2. Project Manager;
3. Architect;
4. Development Manager; and
5. Software Quality Manager.

5 marks: a demonstration of own effort (eg using one’s own words and effort) and the answer being in the right direction (pls note that the answer needs not be perfect but it definitely answers what has been asked)
4 marks. Falling short of the criteria for 5 marks by a fair bit;
3 marks. Falling short of the criteria for 5 marks by a distance;
2 marks. Falling short of the criteria for 5 by a big distance (eg not answering the question to the point)
1 mark. Lack of effort or answer completely in the wrong direction or an evidence of copying from the Internet or other source
