Discuss Isaca COBIT-2019 Exam Topic 2 Question 39

Which of the following is determined at each level of a capability maturity model?

AWho is responsible for ensuring all activities at a given level are performed successfully

BHow well a process is implemented and performing at a given level

CWhich internal policies are relevant to a process at a given level

Suggested Answer: C

According to the COBIT 2019 Study Manual from Isaca, the output of the 'what needs to be done' phase is a high-level program plan. This plan identifies the required resources, activities, and timelines for the implementation of the governance system, as well as any proposed changes that need to be made to the existing system. It is important to have this plan in place before proceeding with the implementation of any changes, as it will help ensure the success of the governance system.

Totally agree, A is key for accountability!

Jaleesa 11 months ago

Wait, are we sure about that? I thought it was more about policies.

Lelia 11 months ago

A and B both sound right to me.

Gregoria 11 months ago

I think it's more about how well a process is performing.

Janella 12 months ago

It's definitely about who is responsible at each level!

Fatima 12 months ago

I definitely studied the roles at each level, but I keep mixing up A and B. I hope I can remember the right one during the exam!

William 12 months ago

I feel like C could be relevant too, but I can't recall if internal policies are specifically tied to each maturity level.

Brynn 1 year ago

I remember something about how well processes are implemented, so maybe it's B? That sounds familiar from our practice questions.

Jaime 1 year ago

I think the answer might be A, but I'm not entirely sure if it's about responsibility or performance.

This seems like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully consider the requirements - working at the application layer, detecting attacks from both privileged and malicious users, and having a very low false positive rate.

This is a good opportunity to apply the tax recognition principle. I'll carefully read the question stem and options to determine the right answer.

Seriously, who comes up with these questions? They're more confusing than a bowl of spaghetti. But hey, at least it's not a multiple-choice question about quantum mechanics, right?

Hmm, this is a tough one. I'm leaning towards B, but I could see arguments for the other options too. Guess I'll have to do some more studying before the exam.

Jody 1 year ago

I'm going with C. The relevant internal policies are definitely what the model is designed to identify at each stage. Sounds like a logical choice to me.

Catalina 1 year ago

↳ replying to Jody

Fair point, C does make sense when considering the importance of internal policies in the model.

Noe 1 year ago

I'm sticking with C. Internal policies play a key role in determining the maturity of a process.

I agree with you, B seems like a solid choice. It's crucial for measuring success at each level.

Arletta 1 year ago

I think B is the correct answer. It's all about how well a process is implemented and performing.

Interesting perspectives, but I'm sticking with C as well. It just makes the most sense to me.

Ranee 1 year ago

I see your point, but I still think C is the best option. Internal policies are crucial at each level.

I disagree, I believe B is the right choice. It's about how well a process is implemented.

I think A is the correct answer. It's about responsibility for successful activities.

Elinore 1 year ago

Come on, it's gotta be A. The model is all about who's responsible for what at each level. That's the key information it provides.

Tien 1 year ago

↳ replying to Elinore

Definitely, A is the key information provided by the capability maturity model.

Sina 1 year ago

↳ replying to Elinore

I agree, A is the correct answer. It's all about assigning responsibilities.

Adolph 1 year ago

Shaniqua 1 year ago

↳ replying to Elinore

A) Who is responsible for ensuring all activities at a given level are performed successfully

Nakita 1 year ago

I think the correct answer is B. The capability maturity model determines how well a process is performing at each level. That's the whole point of the model, right?

Jina 2 years ago

I'm not sure, but I think A) Who is responsible for ensuring all activities at a given level are performed successfully could also be a valid answer.

Tequila 2 years ago

I agree with Billy, because the capability maturity model focuses on process improvement and performance.

Billy 2 years ago

I think the answer is B) How well a process is implemented and performing at a given level.
