PO 1.4 IT Strategic Plan

Control Objective:

Create a strategic plan that defines, in co-operation with the relevant stakeholders, how IT will contribute to the enterprise’s strategic objectives (goals) and related costs and risks. It includes how IT will support IT-enabled investment programs and operational service delivery. It defines how the objectives will be met and measured and will receive formal sign-off from the stakeholders. The IT strategic plan should cover investment/operational budget, funding sources, sourcing strategy, acquisition strategy, and legal and regulatory requirements. The strategic plan should be sufficiently detailed to allow the definition of tactical IT plans.
