Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) — Question 356

Which of the following is the BEST method to confirm whether a pilot project was successful?

Answer options

• A. Evaluate whether the pilot project achieved planned schedule and cost.
• B. Review the metrics recorded in the IT balanced scorecard.
• C. Assess the results of the pilot project against the expected performance outcomes.
• D. Determine whether the pilot aligns with the as-is enterprise architecture (EA).

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because assessing the pilot project's results against expected performance outcomes directly measures its success based on predefined criteria. Options A and B focus on schedule, cost, and metrics, which are important but do not provide a comprehensive measure of success. Option D, while relevant, assesses alignment with enterprise architecture rather than the project's performance outcomes.
