ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
While drafting the implementation strategy for rolling out a new data-loss prevention (DLP) control across three business units, the project manager wants to minimize the risk of schedule overruns caused by staff being committed to other initiatives. Which planning action should be completed first to address this concern effectively?
Publish a firm deployment timeline with fixed milestone dates for each business unit.
Submit a capital expenditure request to secure funding for the DLP software licences and hardware.
Create a resource matrix that maps required skills and staff availability to each planned control activity.
Define post-implementation key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the DLP control's effectiveness.
Resource constraints are a primary driver of schedule risk. An implementation strategy should therefore begin by identifying the human resources and skills required, determining their availability and assigning responsibilities-often captured in a resource matrix or RACI chart. Establishing timelines, requesting funding, and defining effectiveness metrics are also essential, but doing so before confirming resource availability can result in unrealistic dates or unfunded staffing needs, increasing the likelihood of project delays. By securing and scheduling appropriately skilled personnel first, the project manager can align subsequent budgeting and timeline commitments with actual capacity, reducing the chance of conflicts and overruns.
