This presentation defines IT Governance, introduces COBIT IT Governance Framework, and maps it to ITIL V3.

In an era where technology plays an ever-increasing role in the operation and strategy of businesses, IT professionals need to understand the frameworks and methodologies that can guide effective IT governance and management. This comprehensive presentation titled "Cobit: IT Governance Overview and ITIL Mapping" endeavors to illuminate these essential components for IT professionals across many industries.

The presentation first provides the audience with a fundamental understanding of IT Governance. This critical process ensures the effective and efficient use of IT in enabling an organization to achieve its goals. Despite its significance, IT Governance can be a complex subject to navigate due to its multidimensional nature, which can create challenges in its comprehension and implementation.

Recognizing this complexity, the presentation introduces the audience to the COBIT (Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology) IT Governance Framework. This robust, adaptable framework, pioneered by a leading global association focused on IT governance, provides a comprehensive tool that IT professionals can use to better manage and control their IT landscape.

But the learning does not stop at COBIT. The presentation maps the COBIT framework to ITIL V3 (Information Technology Infrastructure Library, version 3), another widely-accepted approach to IT service management. By aligning COBIT and ITIL, the presentation offers a unique perspective on how these two frameworks can complement and reinforce each other in pursuing effective IT governance.

Furthermore, the presentation explores the integration of COBIT with other IT Governance Frameworks, thereby creating a broader, more holistic view of the IT governance ecosystem. It concludes with an overview of the COBIT Maturity Model, a practical tool for assessing IT management capability and guiding the development of a roadmap for continual improvement.

Through a deep dive into COBIT and its relation to ITIL and other IT Governance frameworks, this presentation delivers valuable insights to help IT professionals create a more controlled, strategic, and value-driven IT environment.
