Question 712

Which of the following is the BEST evidence that an organization's IT strategy is aligned to its business objectives?

    Correct Answer: A

    The best evidence that an organization's IT strategy is aligned to its business objectives is that the IT strategy has a significant impact on the business strategy. This indicates that the IT strategy is not only responsive to changes but is also actively contributing to and shaping the overall direction and objectives of the business.

SwallowsOption: A

While the modification of the IT strategy in response to organizational changes (option B) may also indicate alignment to some extent, it does not necessarily guarantee that the IT strategy is directly impacting the business strategy. Option A explicitly states that the IT strategy has a significant impact on the business strategy, making it the best evidence of alignment between IT and business objectives.

In other words, aligning IT strategy with corporate strategy.
