Selected Answer: B
I came to the conclusion that the answer was B, not A. By conducting regular design reviews, we could check the consistency with the plan at each stage of the project and make corrections early if necessary.

Selected Answer: A
While design reviews are an important element, rather than focusing on evaluation at the design stage, compliance audits at key system milestones are more comprehensive and effective in terms of verifying overall project progress and adherence to plan.

Selected Answer: A
A. conduct compliance audits at major system milestones. Compliance audits at major system milestones provide a structured, systematic, and independent evaluation of the project’s adherence to the project plan.

Selected Answer: C
Option A, which suggests conducting compliance audits at major system milestones, is indeed important. However, it is not the most effective method for ongoing assurance that a project is adhering to the project plan. Compliance audits are typically conducted at specific points in time and may not capture issues that arise between these milestones. On the other hand, having an IS auditor participate on the quality assurance (QA) team (Option C) allows for continuous oversight and real-time monitoring of the project’s adherence to the project plan. This proactive approach can identify and correct deviations more promptly and ensure that the project stays aligned with its intended trajectory throughout its lifecycle.

Will choose B if try again. Design reviews help ensure alignment with the project plan, identify potential issues early, and allow adjustments as needed. A: Primarily focuses on compliance and may not provide a comprehensive view of project performance or risks C: QA team primarily concentrates on quality aspects, project adherence to the overall plan involves more than just quality; it includes milestones, timelines, and strategic alignment D: It doesn’t directly assess adherence to the project plan, it contributes to overall governance
