To gain the greatest benefit from the COBIT framework, a stakeholder should have a certain level of experience and a thorough understanding of the entire enterprise. A stakeholder is a person or group that has an interest or concern in an enterprise’s activities or outcomes. Examples of stakeholders are board members, executives, managers, employees, customers, suppliers, regulators, etc. To gain the greatest benefit from the COBIT framework, a stakeholder should have a certain level of experience in I & T governance or management practices, as well as a thorough understanding of the entire enterprise’s vision, mission, values, goals, objectives, strategies, processes, culture, etc.  This would help them to apply the COBIT framework effectively and efficiently to their specific context and needs. 1   References:   COBIT 2019 Framework: Introduction and Methodology , [COBIT 2019 Framework: Stakeholder Needs]
