An organization's board of directors has questioned the value provided by IT key performance indicators (KPIs). Which of the following is the BEST way to determine whether the KPIs adequately support organizational objectives?
Correct Answer: A
Defining a strategy for IT measurement is the best way to determine whether the KPIs adequately support organizational objectives, as it would help to establish a clear vision, scope, purpose, and alignment of the IT measurement activities. A strategy for IT measurement would also help to identify the relevant stakeholders, roles, responsibilities, and expectations for the IT measurement process, and to define the criteria, methods, and tools for selecting, collecting, analyzing, and reporting the KPIs. The other options are not as effective, as they do not address the root cause of the board's question, which is the lack of a coherent and consistent approach to IT measurement.
