Why each option
To effectively monitor alignment between business and IT strategy, a CIO should regularly review the balanced scorecard, which provides a comprehensive view across multiple perspectives.
Key risk indicators (KRIs) focus on potential future risks rather than overall strategic alignment and performance.
While IT services supporting business processes are important, reviewing them alone doesn't provide a holistic strategic alignment picture like a balanced scorecard.
The balanced scorecard is a strategic performance management tool that provides a holistic view by measuring performance across financial, customer, internal business process, and learning and growth perspectives, making it ideal for monitoring strategic alignment between IT and business objectives.
The risk register primarily documents identified risks and their mitigation, not the overall strategic alignment of IT and business.
