Abstract

The Strategic Alignment (AS) of Information Systems (IS), one of the five pillars of IS governance, has always been the first concern of decision-makers. With the evolution of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), information systems have become complex and difficult to master in the absence of the necessary metrics and the assistance of all stakeholders. Previous researches on AS are categorized into two approaches: conceptual and diagnostic. The first aims to define the AS and the second proposes ways to measure its success. These two approaches are criticized for not responding to the concerns of managers. Thus, a new processes and actions centred approach has emerged. Within this framework, we propose a method centered objectives, processes and functions. This method is based on the use of metrics to determine the portfolio of IS projects to be carried out with the aim to align the IS with the strategy of the organization. We illustrate the implementation of the method through a case study.
