Why each option
An IT strategy committee is responsible for advising the board of directors on the development of IT goals and strategies to ensure alignment with overall business objectives.
Providing oversight on enterprise strategy *implementation* is generally a responsibility of senior management or operational committees, while the IT strategy committee focuses on the strategic direction and alignment.
Approving the overall business strategy is a primary responsibility of the board of directors, not an IT strategy committee, which typically focuses on the IT *implications* and alignment.
An IT strategy committee typically serves as an advisory body to the board and senior management, focusing on ensuring that IT strategies, goals, and investments align with and support the overall enterprise business strategy. This includes advising on the formulation of future IT directions and objectives.
Tracking projects in the IT investment portfolio is an operational or tactical management responsibility, often handled by a project management office (PMO) or IT management, rather than a high-level IT strategy committee.
