PO 1.5 IT Tactical Plans

Control Objective:

Create a portfolio of tactical IT plans that are derived from the IT strategic plan. These tactical plans describe required IT initiatives, resource requirements, and how the use of resources and achievement of benefits will be monitored and managed. The tactical plans should be sufficiently detailed to allow the definition of project plans. Actively manage the set tactical IT plans and initiatives through analysis of project and service portfolios. This encompasses balancing requirements and resources on a regular basis, comparing them to achievement of strategic and tactical goals and the expected benefits, and taking appropriate action on deviations.
