Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) — Question 258

An enterprise has discovered that there is significant duplication of IT investments. Which of the following would be MOST helpful in addressing this issue?

Answer options

• A. Establishing an IT steering committee
• B. Delegating IT investment decisions to centralized IT
• C. Maintaining an inventory of IT investments
• D. Increasing the frequency of IT investment audits

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Establishing an IT steering committee is the best approach as it provides a structured method for overseeing IT investments and aligning them with business goals, thereby reducing duplication. The other options, while potentially useful, do not directly address the root cause of duplicated IT investments or provide a governance framework to manage them effectively.
