CISM study material · question 995 of 1000

Which misconception about exercise scenarios does NIST correct?

  1. That a scenario must describe a worst case to be useful
  2. That a scenario should be shared with participants in advance
  3. That a scenario should be written by the plan coordinator
  4. That a longer, more detailed scenario is better — a long one leads participants to dissect the scenario instead of meeting the objectives
Show the answer

Answer: D. That a longer, more detailed scenario is better — a long one leads participants to dissect the scenario instead of meeting the objectives

SP 800-84 notes a short concise scenario is often more effective, because a long detailed one leads participants to dissect the scenario rather than address the exercise objectives.
