Cobit 5-Based Approach for IT Project Portfolio Management: Application to a Moroccan University

Abstract

Considering the problem of the management of IT project portfolios in universities, University managers face a lot of uncertainties when prioritizing projects that make up their portfolio. The alignment with their strategy becomes a major challenge and constitutes one of the essential elements of a governance approach. To overcome this challenge, the implementation of a project prioritization approach adapted to the university’s strategy, vision and culture is essential. In this context, this paper aims to provide a multi-criteria approach based on a combination of AHP and TOPSIS methodologies for the selection and prioritization of IT projects in universities. The main feature of our approach is the use of COBIT 5, its principles and enablers as prioritization criteria. In order to validate our model, project portfolio managers of a Moroccan public university were involved to evaluate the criteria and to prioritize their projects. This research demonstrates that the combined use of Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methodologies proves to be suitable for the implementation of COBIT sub-process APO05.03.
