Evaluate, Direct and Monitor (governance) – COBIT 2019

COBIT 2019 EDM02.01: EDM02.01 Establish the target investment mix

The governing body reviews the enterprise strategy, the I&T strategy and the services now provided to confirm they are clear, and sets a target investment mix based on cost, fit with strategy, the kind of benefit each programme offers, how risky it is, and financial yardsticks, for example cost and projected return, across the full economic life cycle, adjusting the strategies if needed. Portfolios of I&T-enabled investment programmes, IT services and IT assets are built and maintained as the basis for the IT budget and for tactical and strategic plans. IT and the business come to a shared view of where IT can help deliver strategy. The broad categories needed are identified: systems, data, services, infrastructure, assets, skills, practices, controls and relationships. I&T goals are agreed together with the synergies among them. The mix balances returns over the short and the long term, benefits that are financial and those that are not, and investments of higher and lower risk.
