Why each option
The ultimate measure of effective enterprise IT governance is the successful achievement of overall business objectives, as good governance ensures IT resources and strategies directly contribute to organizational success. This demonstrates IT's value in delivering business outcomes.
Using an IT balanced scorecard is a tool for measuring performance and alignment, but it's the *achievement* of objectives, not just the use of the tool, that demonstrates effectiveness.
The ultimate measure of effective IT governance is whether the IT function enables and contributes to the successful achievement of the enterprise's overall business objectives. IT governance is designed to ensure that IT investments are aligned with business strategy, deliver value, and manage risk, all of which culminate in the attainment of defined business outcomes.
Defining business objectives is a prerequisite for governance, not a demonstration of its effectiveness in achieving them.
Measuring IT processes indicates operational efficiency but doesn't inherently prove that IT is delivering on broader business objectives or that governance is effective in value delivery.
