Continuous Governance – EN
A publication in the Continuous Everything series
Continuous Governance is an Agile approach to managing your service organisation.
The business is placing ever-higher demands on the ICT services delivered by ICT organisations. Not only are regulatory requirements increasing, but the market is also becoming more dynamic and the lifecycle of business products shorter. Many ICT organisations respond by adopting quality frameworks such as COBIT, ITIL, TOGAF, and similar models.
Unfortunately, applying the best practices from these frameworks often stalls because the model itself becomes the goal — a misplaced focus. The distinction between value and necessity is lost. At best, quality assurance becomes a wave pattern with highs and lows, difficult to control. Additionally, little to no budget is allocated to achieve and maintain quality.

This book is part of the Continuous Everything series. Its content discusses how the choice for quality can be made concrete and quantifiable, and how quality can be embedded in the Continuous Everything value streams. The proposed approach covers both Quality Control (design and existence) and Quality Assurance (operation) for CE value streams. The demands placed on the ICT organisation are translated into value stream requirements (design) and are embedded in the CE value stream (existence). These are periodically measured (operation).
By classifying requirements in terms of time, cost, risk control, and maturity, management can make informed decisions about which requirements to apply. This makes quality measurable while keeping overhead low. This book is an indispensable tool for quality managers, auditors, business managers, line managers, and value stream managers.
