Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) — Question 318

An executive sponsor of a partially completed IT project has learned that the financial assumptions supporting the project have changed. Which of the following governance actions should be taken FIRST?

Answer options

• A. Schedule an interim project review.
• B. Request a risk assessment.
• C. Re-evaluate the project in the portfolio.
• D. Request an update to the business case.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because updating the business case is essential to reflect the new financial assumptions, which can impact the project’s feasibility and justification. The other options, while important, do not address the immediate need to align the project with the revised financial context.
