An IT auditor is assessing IT projects to validate if business defined high priority IT projects in a specific year will generate the highest business value. What would be the most appropriate for an IT auditor to consult?
A capability maturity model (CMM)
Configuration management
Portfolio management
Project management body of knowledge (PMBOK)
Portfolio management is designed to assist in the definition, prioritization, approval and running of a set of projects within a given organization. These tools offer data capture, workflow and scenario planning functionality, which can help identify the optimum set of projects (from the full set of ideas) to take forward within a given budget. A CMM would not help determine the optimum portfolio of capital projects since it is a means of assessing the relative maturity of the IT processes within an organization: running from Level 0 (IncompleteProcesses are not implemented or fail to achieve their purpose) to Level 5 (OptimizingMetrics are defined and measured, and continuous improvement techniques are in place). A configuration management database (which stores the configuration details for an organization's IT systems) is an important tool for IT service delivery and, in particular, change management. It may provide information that would influence the prioritization of projects, but is not designed for that purpose. PMBOK is a methodology for the management and delivery of projects. It offers no specific guidance or assistance in optimizing a project portfolio.
