Why each option

A CIO would use a Balanced Scorecard to present an overall view of IT performance to the board of directors.

ABalanced scorecardCorrect

A Balanced Scorecard offers a holistic perspective on IT performance by integrating financial metrics with non-financial aspects such as customer satisfaction, internal process efficiency, and innovation. This comprehensive view allows the board to understand IT's contribution to overall business strategy and value creation, rather than just isolated operational metrics.

BKey risk indicators (KRIs)

Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) focus specifically on potential risks and their likelihood, providing a risk-centric view, not a comprehensive overall performance overview.

CMaturity model

A maturity model assesses the capabilities and processes of IT, but it does not directly present performance against strategic objectives in a board-level format.

DKey performance indicators (KPIs)

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) measure specific operational or strategic targets, but they often lack the integrated, multi-perspective view necessary for an overall performance report to the board of directors.
