Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

The best way for the CIO to validate IT's preparedness for adopting wearable technology to improve business performance is to request an enterprise architecture (EA) review. An EAreview is a comprehensive analysis of the current and future state of the enterprise's IT architecture, including its alignment with the business strategy, goals, and objectives. An EA review can help identify the gaps, risks, opportunities, and requirements for implementing wearable technology in the enterprise, as well as evaluate the feasibility, costs, benefits, and impacts of the initiative. An EA review can also provide recommendations and guidance for the design, development, integration, and governance of wearable technology solutions within the enterprise's IT environment.According to COBIT 5, one of the seven enablers of IT governance is enterprise architecture1.The EA review is also part of the IT governance domain 2: Strategic Alignment2.Reference:=1: COBIT 5: A Business Framework for the Governance and Management of Enterprise IT, ISACA, page 312: CGEIT Review Manual 2023, ISACA, page 69.

Wait, why would penalties for noncompliance matter here?

An EA review could also help, but not as directly.

Identifying penalties for noncompliance seems a bit off-topic for validating preparedness; I would lean towards option C as well.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think prioritizing the IT portfolio is crucial, but I'm not convinced it's the best first step.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like an EA review could help identify gaps in our current infrastructure.

Okay, I think I've got it. The key here is to focus on validating the organization's preparedness, so the business value assessment seems like the best option. I'll make sure to explain my reasoning clearly in the exam.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not sure if requesting an enterprise architecture review or reprioritizing the IT portfolio would be the most effective approach. I'm leaning towards the business value assessment, but I'll need to double-check the details.

I'm a bit confused by this question. It's not entirely clear to me what the "best way" to validate the organization's preparedness would be. I'll need to think this through carefully.

This question seems pretty straightforward. I think the best approach would be to perform a baseline business value assessment to validate the organization's preparedness for the wearable technology initiative.
