Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 613

The MOST important measure of the effectiveness of risk management in project implementation is the percentage of projects:

Answer options

• A. introduced into production without high-risk issues.
• B. having the risk register updated regularly.
• C. having an action plan to remediate overdue issues.
• D. having key risk indicators (KRIs) established to measure risk.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The most critical measure of risk management effectiveness is the successful introduction of projects into production without high-risk issues, as this directly reflects on the project's outcome. While updating the risk register, having action plans, and establishing KRIs are important, they do not directly indicate the project's success in mitigating risks during implementation.
