What can management do to help ensure a planned IT initiative will meet future state objectives?
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
To ensure a planned IT initiative meets future state objectives, management should conduct stage
gate reviews during implementation. Stage gate reviews are a critical part of project management
and governance, ensuring that projects are on track, meeting their objectives, and adhering to the
planned schedule and budget.
Stage gate reviews are formal checkpoints at various phases of a project where progress is assessed,
and decisions are made about whether to proceed to the next stage. These reviews help to ensure
that:
The project remains aligned with business objectives and stakeholder expectations.
Risks are identified and managed effectively.
Necessary adjustments are made based on the current project status and future state objectives.
COBIT 2019 emphasizes the importance of governance and management practices to ensure
successful project outcomes. Stage gate reviews align with COBIT's governance objectives by
providing oversight, ensuring alignment with business goals, and enabling course corrections when
needed.
