Information Technology Governance

The role of IT governance at 小猪视频官网College is to provide a framework and processes that ensure the alignment between IT strategy and the college's mission, ensuring that technology investments add value, enhance educational outcomes, and support the overall institutional strategy. 小猪视频官网College's IT Governance structure is described as follows:

Roles of IT Governance vs. IT Management

IT Governance

IT Governance sets direction through prioritization and decision making, and monitors overall IT performance.
Governance sets the vision and policies for the organization.

IT Management

Management is responsible for executing on, running, and monitoring activities as determined by IT governance.
Management makes decisions for implementing the policies.

An IT Governance committee decides which projects IT undertakes, including resource allocation and investment. The governance committee reviews the success metrics of the project.

Management receives the list of projects which have been prioritized, creates a strategy to build and implement these, and reports on their success to the governance committee.
