The enterprise should be prepared to deviate from previously identified priorities with justified reasons. According to the COBIT 2019 Design Guide , when finalizing a governance system design [1], it is important to consider the competing priorities and be prepared to deviate from the previously identified priorities with justified reasons. This is because the governance system design should be tailored to the specific characteristics of the enterprise, and any decisions made should be based on the best interests of the enterprise. It is also important to understand the implications of any changes in the design and to ensure any decisions made do not conflict with the enterprise's overall strategy.

The transition from a divisional model to a centralized model of IT governance and management requires an increase in capability levels. This is because the transition requires an integration of IT systems and processes across the enterprise, which requires a greater level of expertise, organization, and coordination. Additionally, the adoption of outsourcing increases the complexity of the IT environment, requiring a higher level of understanding of the capabilities of the various vendors and contractors being used. Increased capability levels are required to ensure that the organization can adequately manage the transition and maintain the necessary level of control over the IT environment.
