7. Why do you need to optimize IT
governance?
Unmanaged and ad-hoc approaches to IT governance cause:
Long decision-making cycles.
Conflicting guidance around prioritization.
Absent or incomplete management of portfolios – no lifecycle approach.
Undocumented, incomplete knowledge and information, and no formal knowledge transfer.
Duplicated effort and technology redundancies between departments.
Shutting IT out of key IT decisions, and increased likelihood of “shadow IT.”
Having effective IT governance structure and processes will:
Provide a formalized process for managing organizational decision-making.
Save time and money by ensuring that time spent in meetings is effective, that the right people are in those meetings, and preserve IT’s ability to make the most
appropriate decision.
Foster a culture of accountability for decision-making, identifying and resolving issues, and foster communication throughout the organization.
Optimize risk by ensuring proper risk thresholds are understood, targeted, and ultimately managed.
Optimize your resource allocation by reducing wasteful activities through proper allocation of authority through defined, documented, and communicated roles and
responsibilities.
