Episode 52 — Align IT resource management with enterprise resource governance and planning (Task 25)
This episode teaches you how to align IT resource management with broader enterprise resource governance so IT planning, budgeting, staffing, and capacity decisions reinforce enterprise priorities instead of competing with them. You’ll learn to connect IT resource decisions to enterprise planning cycles, financial governance, risk appetite, and capability roadmaps, with an emphasis on making constraints visible so leadership can make deliberate tradeoffs. We’ll cover how misalignment shows up in practice, such as IT committing to delivery without approved funding, business units driving tool purchases outside standard procurement controls, or operational workload consuming capacity that was assumed available for transformation. Scenarios will include aligning workforce plans to capability needs, integrating vendor capacity into enterprise planning, and using consistent measures to compare IT demand against enterprise constraints. On the CGEIT exam, strong answers typically emphasize harmonizing governance rhythms, establishing shared criteria for resource decisions, and producing evidence that IT resource management supports enterprise-level planning and accountability.
