CISA QUESTION #1763
Question 1
Which of the following statements about the Capability Maturity Model is INCORRECT?
  • Level 3 provides quantitative measurement of process output✔️
  • Level 3 processes have published objectives and standards that apply across departmental boundaries
  • Level 5 supports outsourcing by providing highly specific requirement definitions
  • Level 5 maturity converts a product into a commodity allowing companies to demand strict adherence to management authority
Correct Answer Explanation
Level 3 supports qualitative (opinion-based) measurement, not quantitative (count-based) measurement. Quantitative measurement is introduced at Level 4. Level 5 adds optimization and may involve outsourcing with lower-cost workers once requirements are fully commoditized.
