The Five Principles and Seven Enablers

The COBIT5 framework is based on Five Principles and Seven Enablers. The course curriculum has been aligned to these:

The Five Principles

• Principle 1: Meeting Stakeholder Needs
• Principle 2: Covering the Enterprise End-to- End
• Principle 3: Applying a Single, Integrated Framework
• Principle 4: Enabling a Holistic Approach
• Principle 5: Separating Governance From Management

The Seven Enablers

• Principles, policies and frameworks
  The vehicle to translate the desired behaviour into practical guidance for day-to-day management
• Processes
  An organized set of practices and activities to achieve certain objectives and produce a set of outputs in support of achieving overall IT-related goals
• Organizational structures
  The key decision-making entities in an enterprise
• Culture, ethics and behaviour
  The culture, ethics and behaviour of individuals and of the enterprise are very often underestimated as a success factor in governance and management activities
• Information
  Required for keeping the organization running and well governed, but at the operational level, information is very often the key product of the enterprise itself
• Services, infrastructure and applications
  Includes the infrastructure, technology and applications that provide the enterprise with information technology processing and services
• People, skills and competencies
  Required for successful completion of all activities, and for making correct decisions and taking corrective actions
