ITPEC IP April 2021 — Question 97 of 100

- one business-operations head represents a particular operational area

- a project manager governs a specific development project rather than the entire information-system portfolio

Key rule: Enterprise-wide IT optimization requires approval from the executive accountable for overall information strategy—the CIO.
