解説
問 40
Incorrectア
“A collection of widely used best practices for IT service management” is a description of ITIL, not IT governance. ITIL is a set of good practices for the operation and management of IT services, and is a different thing from the concept of IT governance, which concerns organizational capability and control led by management.
Incorrectイ
“Defining and standardizing, one by one, the base work items for making system and software development and their transactions appropriate” is a description of the Common Frame (共通フレーム, SLCP-JCF), not IT governance. It is a framework that presents work standards for development and transactions, and its focus differs from management’s control capability.
- ウ
正解 IT governance refers to an initiative led by management (top management) to increase the value of the organization; that is, the “organizational capability and mechanism” needed to formulate and realize an information systems strategy and to guide and control it toward the direction the organization should take. The description in ウ is exactly this definition; it correctly states the essence of IT governance, namely strategically directing and managing an information systems strategy from a management perspective, so it is the most appropriate.
Incorrectエ
“Applying knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities in order to satisfy the project requirements” is a description of project management (the PMBOK definition), not IT governance. It is a management activity that leads individual projects to success, not a concept that controls the information systems strategy of the whole organization.
ここがポイント
- IT governance = an initiative led by management that enhances the organizational capability needed to formulate and realize an information systems strategy and guides and controls IT toward the direction it should take (a control concept from a management perspective).
- Distinguish confusing similar terms: ITIL (a set of best practices for IT service operation) / the Common Frame (work standards for development and transactions) / project management (PMBOK, carrying out individual projects).
