A well-developed business case is essential to help ensure that a project’s benefits are identified and continually monitored. A business case is a document that provides the rationale and evidence for initiating, continuing, or terminating a project or program. A business case typically consists of several elements, such as problem statement, objectives, scope, benefits, costs, risks, assumptions, etc.  A well-developed business case helps to ensure that a project’s benefits are identified and continually monitored by defining the expected outcomes or value that will be delivered by the project, as well as the metrics and indicators that will be used to measure and track them. 1 2   References:   COBIT 2019 Framework: Introduction and Methodology ,  COBIT 2019 Implementation Guide: Implementing an Information and Technology Governance Solution

A guiding principle in the development of COBIT is that COBIT aligns with other related and relevant I & T standards, frameworks and regulations. This is based on the principle of integration, which states that “governance of enterprise I & T should ensure integration into enterprise governance; alignment with other related standards, frameworks and regulations; and provision of a common language for all stakeholders” . COBIT does not include or replace other standards, frameworks or regulations, but rather complements them by providing a holistic and comprehensive approach to governance of enterprise I & T. 

The best starting point when translating enterprise goals into actionable governance and management objectives is prioritized enterprise goals. The enterprise goals are the high-level statements of what an enterprise wants to achieve in terms of its mission, vision, values, strategy, etc. The enterprise goals are aligned with the stakeholder needs that reflect the expectations and requirements of various internal and external parties that have an interest or stake in the enterprise’s information and technology activities. The prioritized enterprise goals are the subset of enterprise goals that have been ranked according to their importance or urgency for the enterprise based on its context and needs. By starting with prioritized enterprise goals when translating them into actionable governance and management objectives, an enterprise can ensure that it focuses on the most critical aspects of its information and technology governance that support its strategy and objectives.  This will also help to align its information and technology activities with its stakeholder needs 3 4   References:   3 : COBIT 2019 Framework: Introduction and Methodology: page 25-26  4 : COBIT 2019 Design Guide: page 35-36

 A principle of a proper governance framework is that it should be based on a conceptual model.  A conceptual model is “a representation of a system that uses concepts and ideas to form said representation”  8 . A conceptual model helps to define the scope, purpose, structure, and content of a governance framework. It also helps to communicate the key concepts and relationships of a governance system to stakeholders.  COBIT is based on a conceptual model that consists of three main components: the governance system, the governance components, and the design factors 9 .  References:   8 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conceptual_model  9 : COBIT 2019 Framework: Introduction and Methodology, page 26

The alignment goal titled “Security of information, processing infrastructure and privacy” is part of the internal dimension of the IT BSC, as it relates to the protection of IT assets and information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification, or destruction 2 , p.  20.  References:   2 : COBIT 2019 Framework: Governance and Management Objectives

The information flow and items component of COBIT includes a list of artifacts with links to relevant governance and management practices. An artifact is a tangible or intangible object that is produced, modified, or used by a process or activity. An artifact can be a document, a report, a record, a plan, a policy, a procedure, a service, a product, etc.  The information flow and items component of COBIT provides a comprehensive list of artifacts that are relevant for each governance and management objective, as well as links to the practices that produce, modify, or use them. 1 2   References:   COBIT 2019 Framework: Introduction and Methodology ,  COBIT 2019 Framework: Governance System

The oversight of technology and innovation processes by the board is critical to ensuring I & T-related decisions are aligned with the enterprise’s strategies and objectives. The board is the highest governing body of the enterprise that provides direction, oversight, and accountability for the enterprise’s performance. Technology and innovation processes are the activities that enable the enterprise to leverage information and technology to create value, achieve strategic goals, and respond to changing business needs.  The oversight of technology and innovation processes by the board ensures that I & T-related decisions are consistent with the enterprise’s vision, mission, values, policies, and risk appetite. 1 3   References:   COBIT 2019 Framework: Introduction and Methodology ,  COBIT 2019 Framework: Governance System

 The primary reason for management to conduct a process capability assessment is to better understand the current state as compared to the target state. A process capability assessment is a method of measuring and evaluating how well a process or activity is performed in terms of effectiveness, efficiency, completeness, reliability, etc. A process capability assessment can be done using different models or frameworks, such as CMMI or ISO/IEC 15504. A process capability assessment helps management to better understand the current state of a process by identifying its strengths, weaknesses, gaps, and improvement opportunities.  A process capability assessment also helps management to compare the current state with the target state, which is the desired level of performance or outcome for a process. 1 3   References:   COBIT 2019 Framework: Introduction and Methodology ,  COBIT Process Assessment Model (PAM): Using COBIT 5
