3. Review (continued)
Proposals that pass
the first level of review are then analyzed, organized, and
ranked according to their strategic and business alignment.

-
Goals or
objectives that do not appear to be supported are
identified; IT management can explain or make
corrections early in the process.
- Risks, costs, and
benefits are analyzed. Proposals are organized for
submission to senior management. Sometimes several
project alternatives for meeting a single objective
are submitted for consideration.
- Based on the
results of the review, the CIO submits project
proposals (collectively: the "Proposed
Budget") to senior management for review and
decision-making.
If you were the
decision-maker which would you choose (low risk indicates
likelihood of delivering needed results as planned; high risk
- results unlikely)?
