Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) — Question 166

In a large enterprise, which of the following is the MOST effective way to understand the business activities associated with the enterprise's information architecture?

Answer options

• A. Aligning business objectives to organizational strategy
• B. Reviewing IT design with business process managers
• C. Reviewing business strategy with senior management
• D. Mapping business processes within a framework

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Aligning business objectives to organizational strategy is crucial because it ensures that the information architecture directly supports the overarching goals of the enterprise. While reviewing IT design and business strategy can provide insights, they do not offer the comprehensive alignment that understanding business objectives does. Mapping processes is useful, but it does not address the strategic alignment necessary for effective information architecture.
