Hello, although I am on PM position I was asked by my boss If I would like to take over new area in addition - IT Governance.
IT Governance is sth new to me. I have already checked on different sources and have some imagination about it. I would not write what I learnt not to influence answers. Could you please write how IT Governance is defined in your companies?
The boss asked me to draft vision of IT Governance - how I would like to have it in ~5 years perspective
thanks in advance for your comments Saving Changes...

I was in charge of creating IT Governance in my actual work place and before. IT Governance has to be aligned to corporate governance. The point here is you have to think it in architectural way where you have layers and each layer will have to be aligned to a common IT Governance. For example, we have a layer related to projects/programs/portfolio where we have 4 SOX Controls defined that must be achieved into each project. Generally speaking, one control is to verify if budged was approved, other to verify if there is an agreement on requirements, other to verify if the architecture for the solution is on compliance and the last one to verify if the user acceptance test was approved. With this controls we integrated business, application, technology, information and security layers into our enterprise architecture. So, the driver, is to avoid risks mainly. Saving Changes...

Once I get through a couple of other courses, I'm looking at a course on COBIT, from Udemy. It's on sale for the next 16 hours, or so.
COBIT stands for Control OBjectives for Information and related Technology. It is a framework created by the ISACA (Information Systems Audit and Control Association) for IT governance and management. Saving Changes...
