Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 530

During which IT project phase is it MOST appropriate to conduct a benefits realization analysis?

Answer options

• A. Post-implementation review phase
• B. Design review phase
• C. User acceptance testing (UAT) phase
• D. Final implementation phase

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as the post-implementation review phase is specifically designed to evaluate whether the project has achieved its intended benefits. The other phases, such as design review and UAT, focus on different aspects of the project and do not provide the opportunity to assess benefits realization.
