  • Defining the relationship between IT and the business and those functions in the organization with governance responsibilities;
  • Managing an organization's portfolio of IT-enabled business investments; and
  • Maximizing the quality of business cases for IT-enabled business investments with particular emphasis on the definition of key financial indicators, the quantification of "soft" benefits and the comprehensive appraisal of the downside risk.

Why is Val-IT a valuable framework?
Val IT addresses assumptions, costs, risks and outcomes related to a balanced portfolio of IT-enabled business investments. It also provides benchmarking capabilities and allows enterprises to exchange experiences on best practices for value management.
