CISM study material · question 103 of 1000

A programme discovers cost overruns only at delivery. Which investment phase and mechanism was intended to catch them earlier?

  1. The Evaluate phase, using self-assessment
  2. The Select phase, using the benefit, cost and risk criteria that ranked the project into the portfolio
  3. The Control phase, using performance measures to monitor developmental progress
  4. The disposal phase, using media sanitisation records to confirm what the investment finally cost
Show the answer

Answer: C. The Control phase, using performance measures to monitor developmental progress

The Control phase monitors the investment during delivery to determine whether it remains within cost and schedule milestones, using performance measures to enable early problem identification and resolution.
