Assessment of Current Capability and Performance

Assess the current capability and performance of solution and service delivery to establish a baseline against which future requirements can be compared. Define performance in terms of IT’s contribution to business objectives, functionality, stability, complexity, costs, strengths and weaknesses.

        Hide value and Risk Drivers


Value Drivers

  • IT plans contributing transparently to the organisation’s mission and goals
  • Clarity of costs, benefits and risks of IT’s current performance
  • Technological opportunities identified and capabilities leveraged
  • IT capabilities known and operationalised effectively and efficiently to deliver the required solutions and services
   Risk Drivers
  • IT capabilities not contributing to the organisation’s mission and goals
  • Investment decisions taken too late
  • Opportunities and capabilities not leveraged
  • Ineffective use of existing resources
  • Inability to identify baselines for current, and requirements for future, system capability and performance

        View Control Practices

        Hide Control Practices

  1. Capture and report feedback from IT, organisation management and key stakeholders on the current solutions and services. Considerations include, but are not limited to, strengths and weaknesses, functionality, degree of business automation, stability, complexity, development requirements, technology alignment and direction, support and maintenance requirements, costs, and external parties’ (including business partners and vendors) input.
  2. Ensure that IT management is apprised on a timely basis of changes in the enterprise’s mission, goals and objectives, and that such changes initiate a review of the IT strategic and tactical plans and, where warranted, changes thereto.
  3. Periodically compare IT’s current state against the requirements of the IT strategic plan. The outcome of the evaluation includes, but is not restricted to, current requirements, current delivery to requirements, barriers to achieving requirements, and the steps and costs required to remove restrictions.
  4. Consider the results of the assessment of the current performance in the strategic planning process.
  5. Use internal, well-understood and reliable industry, technology or other benchmarks and good practices to assess existing solutions, services and capabilities.
