IT Governance Charter Template

The IT Investment Council (the Council) is responsible for the oversight and delivery of all investment decisions, including the overall strategic direction of the enterprise. The purpose of the IT Investment Council is to ensure the effective and efficient use of technology in enabling the enterprise to achieve its strategy and goals within acceptable levels of risk. The IT Investment Council is tasked with and accountable for ensuring that technology services deliver business value and that expected benefits from new investments are fully realized.

This is a standing (permanent) governance structure. It may be supported by other governance structures — both standing and project (temporary) — as required to effectively achieve its purpose.
