CISM study material · question 985 of 1000

How far ahead does NIST say design should begin for a large, complex tabletop exercise?

  1. At least two weeks, once the scenario itself has been chosen and then agreed with management
  2. At least six months, so as to allow enough time for the management approval to be obtained
  3. At least three months, design usually being the most time-consuming phase
  4. At least one month, which is exactly the same as it is for a much simpler tabletop exercise
Show the answer

Answer: C. At least three months, design usually being the most time-consuming phase

SP 800-84 states design is usually the most time-consuming phase, and should begin at least three months in advance for a large complex exercise and at least one month in advance for a simpler one.
