Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) — Question 267

An enterprise has an overarching enterprise architecture document. The CIO is concerned that EA is not leveraged in recent IT-enabled investments. Which of the following would BEST help to address these concerns and enforce the leveraging of enterprise architecture?

Answer options

• A. Require enterprise architecture review at key milestones.
• B. Publish and train on the enterprise architecture document.
• C. Form a team to update enterprise architecture regularly.
• D. Adopt a globally-recognized enterprise architecture framework.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because publishing and training on the enterprise architecture document ensures that all stakeholders are aware of and understand its importance, leading to better implementation in IT decisions. The other options, while useful in their own right, do not focus directly on increasing awareness and understanding of the existing architecture, which is critical for leveraging it effectively.
