IT Planning — Integrating IT Planning into Corporate Planning

Abstract

IT governance forms the structural framework for effective IT management and thus also for implementing a value-oriented IT strategy. One key success factor is planning IT ‘properly’. But: IT as an ‘overhead department’ always has a budget that it must keep to. Balancing the necessary IT innovations laid down in the IT strategy with the funds avai- lable during the planning period is a characteristic of best practice IT planning.
