IT Governance

IT governance is a subset of Corporate Governance that is basically focused on how systems of information technology perform . There is an increase in interest in IT governance due to compliance initiatives and the realization that IT projects can affect the performance of an organization profoundly if they get out of control . In the current IT world , the issues involving IT projects should not be entirely left to the board of directors and the IT professionals in an

organization . For IT projects to be effective there is a need for all the stakeholders to be involved in decision making . The stakeholders include particular departments in an organization , internal customers and the board of directors . By involving all the stakeholders , the board of directors and / or the IT professionals is exempted from blame if poor decisions are made . The integration of IT in an organization is aimed at achieving economic viability and thus there is need for proper IT governance in to achieve business efficiency and effectiveness . This expounds on IT governance based on research evidence found in academic journals
