The function of a mapping table when determining the initial scope of a new governance system is to indicate the relevance of a governance or management objective with a particular design factor. A mapping table is a tool that helps to identify and prioritize the governance and management objectives that are most applicable and important for the enterprise, based on its specific characteristics and context. A design factor is one of the characteristics of the enterprise that influence the design and operation of a governance system, such as size, industry, culture, strategy, etc. A mapping table shows the degree of relevance of each governance and management objective with each design factor, using a scale from 0 (not relevant) to 5 (very relevant). The function is based on the COBIT 2019 Design Guide, page 23.  References:  : COBIT 2019 Design Guide | Digital | English

The management objective that would be given higher priority in an enterprise’s governance system when the enterprise is very risk-averse is managed portfolio. This objective relates to ensuring that IT-enabled investments are aligned with the enterprise’s risk appetite and tolerance levels, and that they deliver optimal value and benefits. This objective also involves managing the portfolio of IT-enabled investments throughout their life cycle, from initiation to retirement.  The objective is based on the COBIT 2019 Design Guide 3 , page 71.  References:   3 : COBIT 2019 Design Guide | Digital | English

The different levels of involvement associated with roles and organizational structure are primarily divided into responsibility and accountability levels. Responsibility and accountability are two key concepts that define the degree of involvement and authority that a role has in performing a task or process. Responsibility means performing or overseeing a task or process, while accountability means being answerable for the outcome or result of a task or process.  COBIT uses a RACI chart to assign different levels of responsibility and accountability to roles and organizational structures for each governance and management objective. 1 3   References:   COBIT 2019 Framework: Introduction and Methodology ,  COBIT 2019 Framework: Roles, Responsibilities & RACI Charts
