Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

A key input to be considered when defining drivers for a COBIT implementation is the stakeholder map. Understanding the stakeholders involved and their expectations is crucial for identifying the drivers that will shape the governance system.

Reference in COBIT 2019 Design and Implementation:

COBIT 2019 Implementation Guide, Chapter 3: This chapter emphasizes the importance of stakeholder identification and mapping in understanding their needs and expectations, which in turn define the drivers for the COBIT implementation.

COBIT 2019 Framework: Governance and Management Objectives, MEA04 (Managed Stakeholder Engagement): This objective highlights the role of stakeholder engagement in shaping governance and management priorities.

The stakeholder map provides a clear view of who the stakeholders are and what their interests and expectations are, ensuring that the drivers for the COBIT implementation are aligned with the needs of the enterprise.
