Aligning Strategies: Organizational, Project, Individual

Current IT literature emphasizes the importance of adopting a governance strategy based on an organization’s customer market, and inherent technology and personnel capabilities. However, practical experience has shown that many organizations with sound strategies fail, often because the strategies are not aligned with IT project tactics or individual priorities. This paper explores the idea of aligning organizational, project, and individual strategies, using the Capability Maturity Model, an industry best-practices model, as a reference. Key points are illustrated with an industrial example.
