The COBIT 5 IT-enterprise governance and management business framework provides guidance and best practices to meet stakeholders' varying needs. The framework enables the governance entity, usually the board, to set an appropriate governance direction to meet stakeholders' expectations and provide management with a process framework that maximizes enterprise value while optimizing operational risk. This course gives an overview of the COBIT 5 principles of holistic integration, and the treatment of governance and management processes. The latter part of the course covers concepts necessary for the successful implementation of COBIT 5 to an enterprise. The content covered in this course will help learners successfully prepare for the COBIT 5 Foundation Exam.
