Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) — Question 265

The BEST way to ensure an IT steering committee meets enterprise objectives is to:

Answer options

• A. have key business stakeholders represented on the committee.
• B. establish key performance indicators (KPIs).
• C. require a member of the committee to have IT governance expertise.
• D. benchmark against industry best practices.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Establishing key performance indicators (KPIs) allows the committee to measure progress towards meeting enterprise objectives effectively, making option B the best choice. While having business stakeholders (A) is important, it does not directly measure alignment with objectives. Requiring IT governance expertise (C) is beneficial but does not ensure that the committee will meet enterprise goals. Benchmarking against industry best practices (D) can provide insights but does not directly tie to the committee's objectives.
