Most companies use a variety of methodologies and techniques to improve the business and technology alignment. Although many of these methods have acknowledged strengths, they often represent partial solutions. Islands is different from practice in the field of technology management, particularly in the areas of operations and infrastructure. These range from the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) and Balanced Scorecard for Model Software Engineering Institute Capability Maturity (CMM). However, none of these approaches focuses on integrating and enabling capabilities necessary to achieve strategic management of business technology and sustainable value below.
