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

It's recommended that you have an understanding of IT governance or IT management in an enterprise.
