EIS800 Strategy, Alignment, and Portfolio Management
This course presents techniques and methods for building a strategic plan for an enterprise with a strong emphasis on portfolio management. This includes identifying potential strategies and evaluating their alignment with business goals and visions, and approaches to bring IT into alignment with business goals. The discussions cover how to set a benchmark and its proper use; what are reasonable metrics for a business to use and the proper use of those metrics; and environmental scanning. Students evaluate current research on IT strategy and business alignment. Alignment is examined in detail and encompasses portfolio, program, project management and establishment of a Project Management Office (PMO).
