IT resource planning is the process of identifying, allocating, and managing the IT resources needed to support the enterprise’s objectives and strategies. The primary objective of IT resource planning should be to maximize the value received from IT, which means ensuring that the IT resources are aligned with the business needs, optimized for efficiency and effectiveness, and delivering the expected benefits and outcomes. IT resource planning should also consider the risks, costs, and opportunities associated with IT resources, as well as the service level agreements (SLAs) and outsourcing options that may affect the quality and availability of IT services. References: CGEIT Exam Content Outline | ISACA1, CGEIT Review Manual (Digital Version), What are the Objectives of Resource Management? | Kantata2, What Is Resource Planning: A Comprehensive Guide3
