The IT Governance Institute (ITGI) announces a major update to the Val IT framework, a set of proven practices to help enterprises realize value from their investments in IT and IT-enabled change.

In their newsletter of July 21 2008, ITGI announced the updated edition of Val IT framework: 'Enterprise Value: Governance of IT Investments, The Val IT Framework 2.0'. The message says the new edition "broadens the scope of Val IT to encompass all IT expenditures including ongoing IT services, assets and other resources". And: "The new edition adds depth through management guidelines that provide greater detail on the Val IT processes and key management practices, as well as maturity models for each Val IT domain."

ITGI also released a companion guide that helps business and IT executives kickstart a value management initiative. 'Getting Started With Value Management' helps enterprises identify and implement the most relevant and critical Val IT processes.

Both publications are available as free downloads at www.itgi.org >>.
