together and reinforcing all other major ISACA
frameworks and guidance such as:

What Will Be Delivered?
• An enterprisewide, “end-to-end” framework
addressing governance and management of
information and related technology
• The framework structure will include familiar
components such as a domain/process model and
other components such as governance/
management practices, RACI charts and inputs/
outputs.
• An initial COBIT 5 product architecture, specifying
which types of “products” and other “guidance” that
could be developed for specific IT professional
audiences (e.g., assurance, security, risk) in
support of enterprise business needs

 Moving Forward
• The Project Initiation Document for the development of the
overarching COBIT 5 framework has been approved by the
ISACA Board of Directors and design and development work
is progressing.
• COBIT 5 is a major, high-profile, strategic initiative for ISACA.
Market validation of design (i.e., the public exposure of the
draft design paper completed in April 2010) and development
(i.e., the planned public exposure of the overarching
framework product in Q1 2011) will take place to ensure
ISACA remains on the right track to satisfy market needs.
• Communication activities are part of the work plans.
• There will be transition support for users of the current ISACA
frameworks to use COBIT 5.
• ISACA’s valuable current framework content will not
disappear—it is being reinvented and improved!
