CISSP PRACTICE QUESTIONS – 20210514

Effective CISSP Questions

Your company started an engineering project to develop an E-Commerce website following ISO 15288. Which of the following is least likely to be treated as an organizational project enabler? (Wentz QOTD)
A. Life cycle model management
B. Risk management
C. Knowledge management
D. Infrastructure management

Kindly be reminded that the suggested answer is for your reference only. It doesn’t matter whether you have the right or wrong answer. What really matters is your reasoning process and justifications.

My suggested answer is B. Risk management.

ISO 15288

The title of ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 is “Systems and software engineering — System life cycle processes.” Systems and software engineering processes of ISO 15288 can be categorized into four groups:

  • Agreement Processes
  • Organizational Project-Enabling Processes
  • Technical Management Processes
  • Technical Processes

An organization may initiate multiple projects that share the same project infrastructure and resources. Project-specific processes can be either technical or technical management. Risk management here refers to project risk management instead of enterprise risk management (ERM).

Infrastructure management looks like a technical thing. However, this question emphasizes the project nature of engineering and its context. It entails a holistic view of engineering and can not be answered or guessed just like “Think Like a Manager.”
