Traditional IT Governance
Traditional IT Governance is a structured approach to managing and controlling IT resources, investments, and risks within an organization, typically aligned with business objectives through formal frameworks like COBIT or ITIL. It involves centralized decision-making, standardized processes, and compliance mechanisms to ensure IT activities support strategic goals while mitigating risks. This methodology emphasizes control, accountability, and alignment between IT and business functions through established policies and oversight.
Developers should learn Traditional IT Governance when working in large, regulated organizations (e.g., finance, healthcare, or government) where compliance, risk management, and formal processes are critical for operational stability and legal adherence. It is used to ensure IT projects align with business strategies, manage resources efficiently, and meet audit requirements, making it essential for roles involving enterprise architecture, project management, or security compliance.
