Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 573

To help ensure the success of a major IT project, it is MOST important to:

Answer options

• A. obtain approval from business process owners
• B. obtain the appropriate stakeholders' commitment
• C. update the risk register on a regular basis
• D. align the project with the IT risk framework

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Gaining commitment from the appropriate stakeholders is crucial as their support can drive the project forward and align resources effectively. While obtaining approval from process owners and updating the risk register are important, they do not hold the same level of impact on overall project success as stakeholder commitment. Aligning with the IT risk framework is also essential, but it is secondary to ensuring active support from stakeholders.
