mappati in strategie di investimento (basate su tolleranza al
rischio e obiettivi di business)
secondo un mix ottimale (la percentuale o il range di
investimenti fatti in ciascuna area)
basato su assunti di performance future (aspettative di
crescita strategiche e tattiche dell’Organizzazione)
al fine di massimizzare il rapporto valore/rischio (assicurando
che gli investimenti IT selezionati abbiano come risultato il
livello desiderato del valore per i costi ed i rischi coinvolti)
