Read the first 6 IT Value Delivery and Portfolio Management flashcards as text

  1. IT value delivery governance MOST requires that business cases include:

    Answer: Clearly defined benefits, costs, risks, and success metrics before approval

    A complete business case with benefits, costs, risks, and success metrics gives governance bodies the information needed to make informed investment decisions.

  2. Which practice BEST demonstrates effective IT value delivery governance?

    Answer: Stage-gate reviews that confirm business value at each major phase before proceeding

    Stage-gate reviews create checkpoints where governance confirms that value is on track before committing further investment, preventing value erosion.

  3. The 'demand management' function in IT portfolio governance PRIMARILY manages:

    Answer: The intake and prioritization of IT investment requests against strategic criteria

    Demand management governs how IT investment requests are received, evaluated, and prioritized to ensure resources are applied to the highest-value work.

  4. A 'run vs. grow vs. transform' investment categorization in IT portfolio management MOST helps to:

    Answer: Balance spending between maintaining operations, enhancing capabilities, and driving innovation

    Categorizing investments as run, grow, or transform enables governance bodies to deliberately balance maintaining the business, growing it, and transforming it.

  5. An IT investment delivers on time and on budget but the business reports no improvement in outcomes. From a governance perspective, this investment was:

    Answer: Unsuccessful, because value delivery — not project metrics — is the ultimate measure

    IT governance defines success by business outcomes, not project delivery metrics — an on-time, on-budget project that delivers no business value has failed its governance purpose.

  6. Which IT governance mechanism BEST prevents individual business units from making uncoordinated IT investments?

    Answer: A centralized IT investment governance process with mandatory portfolio review

    Centralized portfolio governance with mandatory review prevents duplicative, misaligned investments by coordinating IT spending across the enterprise.
