Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 1178

Which of the following is MOST useful for determining the strategy for IT portfolio management?

Answer options

• A. IT metrics dashboards
• B. IT roadmap
• C. Capability maturity model
• D. Life cycle cost-benefit analysis

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Life cycle cost-benefit analysis is crucial as it evaluates the total costs and benefits over the life of IT investments, helping to inform strategic decisions. While IT metrics dashboards, IT roadmap, and capability maturity model provide valuable insights, they do not offer the comprehensive financial perspective that a cost-benefit analysis does.
