Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) — Question 239

Which of the following is the BEST way to demonstrate that IT strategy supports a new enterprise strategy?

Answer options

• A. Review and update the portfolio management process.
• B. Monitor new key risk indicators (KRIs).
• C. Measure return on IT investments against balanced scorecards.
• D. Map IT programs to business goals.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Mapping IT programs to business goals (D) explicitly demonstrates how IT initiatives contribute to the overall enterprise strategy, ensuring alignment. The other options, while important, do not directly illustrate this alignment; updating portfolio processes, monitoring KRIs, and measuring returns provide valuable insights but lack the direct connection to business goals.
