COBIT 5 Foundation — Question 12
Which statement describes the difference between specific and generic work products?
Answer options
- A. Specific work products are defined at each capability level, generic work products are defined on an organizational level
- B. Specific work products are associated with the IT-related goals, generic work products are associated with the higher level enterprise goals
- C. Specific work products are defined for each process, generic work products are defined for all generic processes from capability level 2 to 5
- D. Specific work products define the objectives at activity level, generic work products define the level objectives of a process
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer, D, is accurate because specific work products focus on detailed objectives within an activity, whereas generic work products provide a broader perspective by defining objectives at the process level. Options A, B, and C misrepresent the definitions and associations of specific and generic work products, making them incorrect.
