Abstract
The IT governance has been drawn much attention, and the COBIT has been known as a framework for the IT governance. One of the key features of the IT governance is the alignment of business goals and IT goals. The COBIT framework basically provides the definitions of business, IT and processes’ goals and the links among them. There has been much research on the assessment of the IT governance in terms of applying the COBIT framework to the IT governance of an organization. However, this paper studies the assessment of the IT governance of the COBIT framework itself. We develop an assessment method, apply it to the COBIT framework and derive several assessment results including the weights of the IT goals and the IT processes to the business goal. The results can also be applied to other IT governance areas such as the priority determination of the IT investment or IT audit.
The present research has been conducted by National Research Foundation of Korea and by the Research Grant of KwangWoon University in 2009.
