Brief description and learning objectives:

IT governance refers to a wide range of technical-administrative actions undertaken with the main objectives of harmonizing the digital strategy with the operational strategy of the companies/organizations, ensuring that the companies/organizations are committed to their strategies and goals and implementing optimal of practices for measuring the efficiency of digital investments.

A digital governance framework should provide scientifically based and convincing answers to key questions, such as regarding the smooth functioning of the IT department of the company/organization of any size, the key efficiency and effectiveness metrics that management needs and the expected benefits from investments in the digital technology of the company/organization. Therefore, every business/organization, small or large, public or private, needs a technical-administrative digital governance mechanism to ensure that its digital operation supports its strategies and objectives.

From the above, it is demonstrated the need for the staffing of companies/organizations with people who have the appropriate knowledge and skills in various IT governance issues which, essentially, refer to the stages before development (pre-development), during development (on -development) and after the development (after-development) of digital technology in/in the company/organization.
