An enterprise has a large backlog of IT projects.

The most important action to address the concern of executive management about the current strategy of executing projects as they are submitted is to create a combined business/IT committee to determine project prioritization. This action will help to ensure that the IT projects are aligned with the enterprise’s objectives, strategies, and values, and that they deliver the highest value and impact to the business and the customers. A combined business/IT committee can also facilitate the communication, collaboration, and coordination among the stakeholders involved in the IT projects, and resolve any conflicts or issues that may arise. A combined business/IT committee can use various project prioritization methods, such as scoring models, prioritization matrices, payback periods, or portfolio dashboards, to evaluate and rank the IT projects based on criteria such as business value, urgency, feasibility, risk, and resource availability
