ITPEC IP October 2023 — Question 99 of 100

The CIO is the appropriate approver for an optimization plan covering the company's overall information system. Such a plan affects enterprise-wide information strategy, architecture, investment priorities, governance, and alignment with business strategy, which fall under the Chief Information Officer's organization-wide responsibility.

Answer (a)

Why not others:
- (b) the head creating an RFP has a narrower procurement-document responsibility

- (c) one business department head represents only part of the enterprise

- (d) a project manager governs a specific development project rather than the total information-system portfolio

Key rule: Enterprise-wide IT strategy and optimization require enterprise-level information leadership, not approval limited to one department or project.
