This research has as a topic the effectiveness of the Information Technology Governance, in particular the monitoring of its effectiveness. For this study, it is considered that the IT Governance is a decision making structure that determines the responsibilities of each individual, and the mechanisms required to stimulate the desired behaviors related to IT resources, with the goal of achieving the IT Governance objectives. It is understood that the IT Governance mechanisms are a set of best practices and arrangements used to operationalize the goals of the IT Governance, respecting its principles. Different means of information gathering were used in this study in order for it to achieve its purpose. Among them are the use of a Survey and the use of semi structured interviews. This research interviewed 41 professionals who worked in the IT area and were involved with IT Governance. The survey had the participation of 26 specialists in IT Governance. These specialists worked as CIO s, IT Managers or IT Governance Analysts. A discussion complementary to the survey, with an expert with more than 15 years of experience in the area was also performed. The interviews involved 14 professionals with more than 10 years of experience in leadership roles in the IT area, working at companies with formalized models of IT Governance. As a result, this study obtained a definition of an approach to the effectiveness of the IT Governance, which is considered effective when the mechanisms are able to attend to the objectives defined by the strategies of the organization for IT Governance, respecting its principles and attending its stakeholders. This research was also able to qualify a set of 25 mechanisms used by the organizations to implement IT Governance. It also identified which were the expectations of the companies regarding the adoption of those mechanisms. This study showed the top 10 benefits expected by the interviewees pointing that, in their conception, the companies are looking for the organization of the IT area, and the increase of means of control and measurement of the IT area. This study also shows that even when the interviewees had adopted a speech of deployment of the strategic planning as a mean to define the used mechanisms of the IT Governance, the main method to define or choose such mechanisms is the adoption of best practice models, such as ITIL and COBIT, or through a process of benchmark with another IT professionals or companies, denoting that the decision of which mechanisms should be used to an effective implementation of IT Governance is a result of a mimetic process. However, the main contribution of this research is the identification of nine criteria that can be used to build metrics and indicators to monitor the IT Governance effectiveness. These criteria were split according to two dimensions of effectiveness. The analysis also showed that the companies focus mainly on the monitoring of the IT Governance considering the operational area, using mainly financial, economic, productivity and resource usage criteria. In this manner, the external dimension of the effectiveness, represented by criteria like strategic alignment, stakeholder s satisfaction and compliance with laws, are underutilized.
