CISM study material · question 934 of 1000

What distinguishes a functional exercise from a tabletop exercise?

  1. Quantifiable success metrics are recorded rather than observations
  2. Participants use the actual production environment rather than a simulation that has been built for the exercise
  3. Participants are drawn only from senior management
  4. Participants perform their duties in a simulated operational environment rather than describing them
Show the answer

Answer: D. Participants perform their duties in a simulated operational environment rather than describing them

SP 800-34r1 describes functional exercises as allowing personnel to validate their operational readiness by performing their duties in a simulated operational environment, executing their roles as they would in a real emergency.
