Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 562

Which of the following should be the MOST important consideration when prioritizing the funding for competing IT projects?

Answer options

• A. Skills and capabilities within the project management team
• B. Quality and accuracy of the IT project inventory
• C. Criteria used to determine the benefits of projects
• D. Senior management preferences

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The criteria used to assess the benefits of projects is crucial as it directly influences the decision-making process for funding. While skills of the project management team, project inventory quality, and senior management preferences are significant, they do not carry as much weight in determining the overall value and potential return on investment of the projects.
