Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) — Question 161

Which of the following would BEST help to ensure an IT steering committee is informed of newly emerging risks in critical IT projects?

Answer options

• A. Requiring regular updates of the risk register for each project
• B. Requiring a summarized report of relevant risks
• C. Reviewing the response for each risk in the log
• D. Conducting periodic reviews of project performance

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Requiring regular updates of the risk register for each project ensures that the IT steering committee is continuously informed of any new risks as they arise, which is crucial for timely decision-making. The other options, while useful, do not provide the same level of ongoing detail and immediacy regarding emerging risks as maintaining an updated risk register does.
