PurposeStrategic information systems planning (SISP) has been identified as a key strategy underpinning an effective utilization of information systems (IS) to achieve the core objectives of an organization. This study aims at identifying, ranking and prioritizing factors that IS and business executives consider critical for the success of IS projects.Design/methodology/approachThis study adopted a qualitative research approach with a 3-round Delphi process to get experts' opinions on critical success factors (CSFs) necessary for successful SISP. A forty-two panel of experts was selected using defined criteria. Quantitative analyses of the data were performed using Kendall's coefficient of concordance and chi-square to obtain a consensus among the experts.FindingsThe findings revealed the top managers' understanding of strategic priorities, aligning IS strategies with the organizational strategic plan and availability of internal resources to deliver IS services as the first three key CSFs of SISP. Other highly ranked CSFs were the management's understanding of the role of IS and the need to educate top management on the importance of IT in supporting the business strategy.Originality/valueThe CSFs factors obtained in this study would lay a foundation for future research and could be incorporated into a new theoretical model of IS planning.

This paper discusses the design and implementation of strategic and operational ICT governance at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC), a fully online university based in Barcelona, Spain. Governance is shown as a maturity process taking place in recent years, from top-down strategic planning to co-responsibility mechanisms set up between business (management and academy) and IT.On the strategic level, the organization relies on (a) a robust strategic information systems plan that shields long-term investments and annual funding; (b) a corporate governance body which represents major stakeholders; and (c) a stable funding mechanism for IT investments over time.In the case of operational governance, portfolio management decisions have been devolved to committees representing major business processes, and new prioritizing procedures following agile models have been put in place. These committees also monitor execution and return on investment.Lastly, this model has been evaluated through a survey among all participants. We show the results of the assessment.
