Why each option
Following a change in enterprise strategy, the CIO should review current and planned IT projects to ensure they align with the new strategic direction.
While performance and capacity plans are important, they are operational concerns; the strategic change impacts *what* IT does, which is reflected in projects, before *how much* capacity is needed.
When enterprise strategy changes, the CIO must review the current and planned IT projects to assess their alignment with the new strategic direction. This allows for re-prioritization, modification, or initiation of projects that support the revised organizational goals, ensuring IT resources are focused on strategic objectives.
Historical budget allocations provide context but do not directly show how current or future IT efforts align with a *changed* enterprise strategy.
The enterprise SWOT analysis identifies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for the *entire enterprise*, not specifically the IT projects that need to align with a new strategy.
