Transition Message
COBIT 4.1, Val IT (2.0) and Risk IT users who are
already engaged in governance of enterprise IT (GEIT)
implementation activities can transition to COBIT 5
and benefit from the latest and improved guidance
that it provides during the next iterations of their
enterprises improvement life cycle.
COBIT 5 builds on previous versions of COBIT (and
Val IT and Risk IT) and so enterprises can also build
on what they have developed using earlier versions
COBIT 5 also incorporates BMIS and ITAF.

enterprise goals.
These enterprise goals have been developed using the
Balanced Scorecard (BSC) dimensions. (Kaplan, Robert S.;
Norton, David P.; The Balanced Scorecard: Translating
Strategy into Action, Harvard University Press, USA, 1996)
The enterprise goals are a list of commonly used goals that
an enterprise has defined for itself.
Although this list is not exhaustive, most enterprise-specific
goals can be easily mapped onto one or more of the generic
enterprise goals.

and options are evaluated to determine balanced, agreedon enterprise objectives to be achieved; setting direction
through prioritisation and decision making; and
monitoring performance and compliance against agreedon direction and objectives (EDM).
Management plans, builds, runs and monitors
activities in alignment with the direction set by the
governance body to achieve the enterprise objectives
(PBRM).

Feedback indicated that principles are easy to
understand and put into an enterprise context,
allowing value to be derived from the supporting
guidance more effectively.
ISO/IEC 38500 also incorporates principles to
underpin its messages to achieve the same market
benefit delivery, although the principles in this
standard and COBIT 5 are not the same.

COBIT 4.1, Val IT and Risk IT, but these are renamed
enterprise goals, IT-related goals and process goals
reflecting an enterprise level view.
COBIT 5 provides a revised goals cascade based on
enterprise goals driving IT-related goals and then
supported by critical processes.
COBIT 5 provides examples of goals and metrics at the
enterprise, process and management practice levels. This
is a change to COBIT 4.1, Val IT and Risk IT, which went
down one level lower.
