Step 1: Define Objectives and Scope

Defining the objectives and scope is the foundational step in implementing IT governance. This step involves setting clear goals for what the IT governance initiative aims to achieve and delineating the boundaries within which it will operate.

This step defines clear objectives and a comprehensive scope for your IT governance initiative. Establishing specific, measurable, and aligned goals ensures that IT governance efforts are purposeful and aligned with overall business strategies. Key activities include stakeholder engagement, risk assessment, and documentation.
