Answers
C.

D.
Milestones have not been defined for all project products.
Answers
D.
Milestones have not been defined for all project products.
Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

The audit finding that should be of greatest concern is that tasks defined on the critical path do not have resources allocated, as this means that the project is likely to face significant delays and cost overruns, since the critical path is the sequence of activities that determines the minimum time required to complete the project. The actual start times of some activities being later than originally scheduled may indicate some minor deviations from the project plan, but they may not necessarily affect the overall project completion time if they are not on the critical path. The project manager lacking formal certification may affect the quality and efficiency of the project management process, but it does not necessarily imply that the project manager is incompetent or unqualified.Milestones have been defined for all project products, but they may not be realistic or achievable if they do not take into account the resource constraints and dependencies of the critical path tasks.Reference:CISA Review Manual (Digital Version), Chapter 2: Governance and Management of IT, Section 2.3: IT Project Management
