Recognizing and rewarding EGIT implementation program performance is MOST beneficial when:
Correct Answer: B
Recognizing and rewarding EGIT implementation program performance is most beneficial when measuring realized program benefits. According to the COBIT 2019 Implementation Guide, recognizing and rewarding program performance is one of the key success factors for implementing and optimizing an EGIT program. Recognizing and rewarding program performance involves acknowledging and appreciating the achievements and contributions of the program team and stakeholders, as well as providing incentives and motivation for further improvement. Recognizing and rewarding program performance is most beneficial when measuring realized program benefits, because this is the stage where the actual outcomes and value of the program are evaluated against the expected goals and metrics. By recognizing and rewarding program performance at this stage, the enterprise can reinforce the positive impact of the program, celebrate the success of the program team and stakeholders, and encourage continuous learning and improvement.

Question 172
Which of the following benefits derived from the use of COBIT is PRIMARILY associated with an external stakeholder?
Correct Answer: C
One of the benefits derived from the use of COBIT is that it helps to ensure compliance with applicable rules and regulations. This benefit is primarily associated with an external stakeholder, such as a regulator, auditor, customer, or partner, who expects the enterprise to adhere to certain standards and requirements. COBIT provides guidance on how to align the governance and management of enterprise IT with relevant laws, regulations, and contractual obligations12. COBIT also helps to establish and maintain a compliance culture and program within the enterprise3.

Question 173
Which of the following is a KEY principle of an enterprise governance system?
Correct Answer: A
A governance system should cover the enterprise end to end, focusing not only on the IT function but on all technology and information processing the enterprise puts in place to achieve its goals, regardless where the processing is located in the enterprise.
Question 174
At which stage of the EGIT implementation life cycle should the enterprise determine the impact of an improvement program on IT and the business and how to maintain the improvement momentum?
Correct Answer: B
Explanation The EGIT implementation life cycle consists of four stages: initiating an EGIT program, defining the EGIT implementation road map, developing the EGIT implementation program plan, and executing the EGIT implementation program plan. The third stage, developing the EGIT implementation program plan, involves identifying and defining the success metrics for the EGIT continual improvement program. These metrics should be aligned with the enterprise goals and objectives, and should measure the performance and outcomes of the EGIT processes and practices. The success metrics should also be SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound), and should be communicated to all stakeholders involved in the EGIT program.

Question 175
The value that I&T delivers should be:
Correct Answer: A
The value that I&T delivers should be aligned directly with the values on which the business is focused. This is based on the principle of alignment, which states that "governance of enterprise I&T should ensure that I&T-enabled investments are aligned with the enterprise strategy and deliver the expected benefits" . Value delivery is not only about maintaining or increasing value from existing I&T investments, but also about ensuring that new investments support the strategic objectives and stakeholder needs of the enterprise.
