CGEIT Question #634: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

An enterprise has an overarching enterprise architecture (EA) document. The CIO is concerned that EA is not leveraged in recent IT-enabled investments. Which of the following would BEST help to address these concerns and enforce the leveraging of EA?

Options

• AForm a team to update EA regularly.
• BRequire EA review at key milestones.
• CPublish and train on the EA document.
• DAdopt a globally recognized EA framework.

Explanation

To ensure Enterprise Architecture (EA) is leveraged in IT investments, requiring an EA review at key project milestones is the most effective approach to enforce its integration into decision-making.

Common mistakes.

• A. Forming a team to update EA regularly ensures its currency but does not by itself enforce its use or integration into IT investment decisions.
• C. Publishing and training on the EA document raises awareness, but without enforcement mechanisms, it does not guarantee that EA will be actively leveraged in investments.
• D. Adopting a globally recognized EA framework might improve the quality and structure of the EA, but it does not, in itself, enforce its application to internal IT-enabled investments.
