IT/Business Alignment analysis

There is a lot written on alignment of IT with the business. I think alignment and governance start with understanding three things:

· The gap between the business need (new functionality and risk mitigation requirements) and the current state of IT value

· The flexibility of the IT resources to deliver on business value (skills, process, friction caused by effort to maintain existing systems)

· A prioritization of initiatives based on the need, ROI and budget
