Management guidelines

The Management Guidelines for CobiT consist of Maturity Models, Critical Success Factors (CSFs), Key Goal Indicators (KGIs) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). With the increasing interconnection and dependence on IT in our increasingly electronic global economy, overall risk management and assurance are dependent on specific management practices. In our complex environments, management is continuously searching for condensed and timely information in order to make difficult decisions on risk and control, fast and successfully.

Usely tools are dashboards, scorecards and benchmarking. But dashboards need indicators, scorecards need measures and benchmarking needs a scale for comparison. Providing these for information management has been a primary objective in the development of the CobiT Management Guidelines.
