Scenario

In this scenario, you are an IT manager of a mid-size adaptive manufacturing company. The yearly revenue for the company is $15M, and there are 100 employees, many of which are research and development personnel. You have been asked by upper management to put the plan together for a single integrated framework since there are continuous changes in technology, not to mention the pressure from suppliers and your customers. In this assignment, you will conduct research on different business frameworks for managing IT. Pick two frameworks and write a compare and contrast paper to present to management so they can make an informed decision. Frameworks that you can pick from are COBIT5®, ITIL®, VAL IT®, Risk Frameworks®, TOGAF®, PRINCE2®, NIST Cybersecurity Framework® or any other framework you find that is applicable.

In addition, you will explain why you would pick one of the two frameworks by writing a compelling argument for one over the other. Be sure to use at least three examples in your argument. The paper should be at least 5 pages long, not including the title page and references pages.
