Governance of Enterprise IT

Which of the following groups is MOST appropriate for deciding whether to move forward with an IT-enabled investment at the individual program level?

  • A Business sponsors
  • B Program management office
  • C IT steering committee
  • D Board of directors
Explanation

Business sponsors are accountable for the business case and realization of benefits for a specific IT-enabled program, so they are the appropriate decision-makers on whether that program should proceed. Portfolio-level prioritization and enterprise oversight belong to steering or board-level governance. ISACA notes that business ownership of technology investments is needed to ensure alignment with business objectives and that project sponsors must have authority to own execution within the strategic program.
