University ITSM

I received a notice from ISACA (the "Information Systems Audit and Control Association"), the people responsible for COBIT, that they are creating a new certificate called CGEIT--Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT. You can outright get a certificate for the next couple of months if you have eight years of IT governance experience. After that, they'll start giving the exam in December.

CGEIT defines six "job practice areas:"

• IT Governance Framework
• Strategic Alignment
• Value Delivery
• Risk Management
• Resource Management
• Performance Management

The sources, as listed at the CGEIT references page, are

• Board Briefing on IT Governance
• IT Governance Domain Practices and Competencies (a five-volume series)
• CobiT
• IT Governance Implementation Guide: Using CobiT and Val IT
• Enterprise Value: Goverannce of IT Investments
• Governance of the Extended Enterprise: Bridging Business and IT Strategies
• Frameworks for IT Management

Sometime I need to read up on "Val IT."
