Why each option
Enterprise Architecture (EA) is the best support for planning IT investments after a strategic plan is approved, as it provides a comprehensive blueprint to align IT with business goals.
Service-oriented architecture is a design pattern for software systems, not a framework for aligning IT investments with enterprise strategy.
Enterprise Architecture (EA) provides a comprehensive, holistic view of an organization's structure, processes, information systems, and technology infrastructure. This detailed blueprint enables IT investments to be strategically aligned with the overall enterprise strategic plan, ensuring that resources are allocated effectively to support business objectives.
Contingency planning focuses on disaster recovery and business continuity, not the strategic planning of IT investments.
An enterprise balanced scorecard is a performance management framework used to track strategic objectives, not to plan and guide IT investments.
