Course Description
The combination of business changes (market demands), enterprise responses (in terms of IT-intensive organizational changes), and technologies dispersed into business units, creates a need to explore how IT is most effectively and efficiently governed.

IT Governance may be defined as a framework for the ongoing leadership, organizational structures and business processes, standards and compliance to these standards, which ensures that IT supports and enables the achievement of both IT and organizational strategies and objectives.

IT portfolio management is a restricted collection of IT assets, plotted against investment strategies, which are tied to acceptable risk levels designed to meet business objectives.  This is achieved through a calculated, favorable mix (the proportion or variety of investments made in each enterprise area), based on a postulation about future performance, (planned and deliberate development expectations of the enterprise).  The result is in taking advantage of the reward verses risk tradeoffs (guaranteeing that the identified IT investments provide the required level of usefulness for the cost and risk involved) in maximizing the enterprise’s returns on its IT spend.

This session addresses the critical linkage between proactive IT governance and practical IT portfolio management.

Audience
This course would best meet the objectives of an individual preparing to sit for the CISA professional certification examination.  Additionally, non-exam candidates or individuals desiring to gain a deeper understanding of the IT Audit methodologies and process would also benefit from attending this course.
Objectives
After completing this course, attendees will be able to:

  1. Map business and IT assets into a portfolio representation.
  1. Use portfolio representations as a communication tool among various parts of the business, the IT group, and the executive office.
  2. Recognize the inter-relationships between governance, risk and compliance as a means to effectively govern IT
  3. Identify and categorize IT investments according to their levels of necessity and risk.
  4. Evaluate the “line items” in an IT portfolio.  The line-items constitute the applications, or the infrastructure elements, or the IT services, or the development projects.
  1. Detect elements of continuing “disconnects” between the business leadership and their IT assets and resources, and assess whether these disconnects get in the way of successful exploitation of IT by businesses.
  2. Determine the responsiveness of IT to the needs of users and the enterprise.
  1. Identify practices for monitoring and reporting of IT performance (e.g., balanced scorecards, key performance indicators, and key goal indicators).
  2. Better understand business impact analysis (BIA) as it relates to business continuity planning.
  3. Address the examination requirements for Domain 2 of the CISA exam.
