in this video, we're going to talk about I T related design factors

00:08

or the role of I t. The sourcing model of I T. And I T implementation methods.

00:16

Another design factor, Corbett mentions, is the role of I t.

00:20

The role of it depends on the business itself, like its culture, the industry, business missions, goals and objectives. It's people etcetera.

00:29

An example of what roles that I t plays within an organization would be something like support or strategic.

00:36

If I t is a support within your business, it means it's not crucial for business processes or innovation or to realize business objectives. And that's important to note when designing your I T governance program.

00:48

On the other hand, if I t plays a strategic role in your enterprise, meaning it's critical for running, innovating and for business processes, services and objectives, that's an important design factor that should be included.

01:02

Another example of the role it plays is a turnaround rolled role, or I t is seen as a driver for innovating business processes and services.

01:11

However, there isn't a critical dependency on I t. For running and continuity of business processes and services,

01:19

so make sure to evaluate the role that it plays in your enterprise.

This will help designing your I T governance program.

So what role does it play in your organization?

01:51

Another design factors theatrical sourcing model of i T.

01:55

There are different sourcing methods that organizations use when it comes to I t.

01:59

Let's go through some examples of I t. Source models.

02:01

Is your I t outsourced.

02:04

Meaning? Do you have a third party managing, implementing and supporting your I T. Resource is

02:09

Do you have cloud vendors that manage your applications? Data, etcetera.

02:14

Do you have your own I T staff and services? Meaning is it insourced or do you have more of a hybrid model

02:22

depending on your sourcing model of I T.

02:24

Then you will need to design your governance program differently.

02:28

If if you outsource your I t. Then you don't need to have in source objectives and processes, and vice versa.

02:35

You don't wanna have something that's irrelevant if your I T is primarily outsourced.

02:39

This design factor is crucial when designing and creating your governance program.

02:49

Another design factor that you should take into account for your governance program is I t implementation methods.

02:55

There are different types of implementation methods that organizations utilize,

03:00

For example, an organization that requires a fast turnaround to the market and is very customer oriented. You may have an agile implementation method,

03:09

a traditional implementation method or waterfall, maybe a method for an organization that is heavily regulated.

03:16

So it really depends on your organization, industry, work, culture, etcetera.

03:22

So this is important to take into account as a design factor.

03:25

03:35

Consequently, it will affect your governance program and the overall management of I t Resource is to ensure it aligns with business goals, strategies and culture.
