demonstrated in the previous section.
To give a widespread and holistic support for IT
governance, it is not sufficient to metamodel one
framework like COBIT. Instead, it is necessary to
complement it with the knowledge of other frame-
works and the findings of academic research (Steen-
bergen et al. 2007, Weill, Ross 2004). Therefore, the
mapping of COBIT can only be the first step in the
process of building a wider metamodel covering
more than one framework and, therefore, covering
various tasks and challenges of IT governance.
Another interesting area of development is the
situation specific and/or enterprise specific adoption
and configuration of governance models. We pro-
pose, that the mentioned approach of „situational
method engineering“ might be applicable to them as
well. Because frameworks like COBIT and ITIL are
seldom implemented completely and without
modification, a methodological support for model
adoption and configuration would be useful.
