When reviewing a system development project at the project
initiation stage, an IS auditor finds that the project team
is following the organization's quality manual. To meet
critical deadlines the project team proposes to fast track
the validation and verification processes, commencing some
elements before the previous deliverable is signed off.
Under these circumstances, the IS auditor would MOST likely:
A. report this as a critical finding to senior management.
B. accept that different quality processes can be adopted
for each project.
C. report to IS management the team's failure to follow
quality procedures.
D. report the risks associated with fast tracking to the
project steering committee.

Answer: D
It is important that quality processes are appropriate to
individual projects. Attempts to apply inappropriate
processes will often find their abandonment under pressure.
A fast-tracking process is an acceptable option under
certain circumstances. However, it is important that the
project steering committee is informed of the risks
associated with this (i.e., possibility of rework if changes
are required).
