ITPEC IP October 2025 — Question 64 of 100

Executives define governance policy and investment principles, while the information-system head assigns departmental roles and manages development progress — this is option (a).

Items (i) and (ii) set company-wide direction, decision rights, and resource-allocation principles, which require executive authority. Items (iii) and (iv) concern organization and execution inside the information-system department, so its responsible manager handles them.

Answer (a)

Why not others:
- (b) assigns internal departmental roles to the executive and investment principles to the department head

- (c) moves governance policy away from executive responsibility

- (d) makes the executive perform project-level progress management while the department head defines company-wide policy

Key rule: Governance sets enterprise direction and accountability; management within a department implements that direction through organization and operational control.
