Governance of Enterprise IT

A board of directors has received a report showing that only a small number of IT initiatives were completed on schedule and within budget. One-third of projects were cancelled before completion, and more than half are projected to cost nearly twice their original estimates. Analysis found that nobody is accountable for completing investment initiatives and that execution is inconsistent. Which of the following would BEST help the enterprise address these issues?

  • A Aligning IT investment priorities to the business
  • B Establishing a project governance framework
  • C Assigning business management to an IT investment review board
  • D Establishing an IT risk management plan
Explanation

A project governance framework establishes clear roles, responsibilities, and accountability for sponsors, steering bodies, project offices, and project managers, while providing consistent mechanisms for oversight, risk management, and value delivery. This directly addresses the lack of ownership and inconsistent project execution that lead to cancellations and budget and schedule overruns.
