According to the COBIT 2019 Official Manual, it is best to acquire or develop solutions for implementing process improvement projects when the EGIT implementation program plan is being developed. This allows the implementation plan to take into account any solutions or technologies that are required to support the process improvement projects. Acquiring or developing solutions should not be done when defining the EGIT implementation roadmap or when defining potential implementation problems and opportunities, as these do not involve the actual implementation of the program plan. Solutions should be acquired or developed when executing the EGIT implementation program plan, as this is when the actual implementation of the program plan takes place.

According to the ISACA COBIT 2019 Framework, the Board of Directors is responsible for monitoring the performance of the execution of an EGIT implementation program plan against success metrics and adjusting long-term targets when necessary. This is specified in Domain 4, Objective 4.1: "Establish and govern the enterprise governance of IT (EGIT)". The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that the EGIT implementation program plan is executed according to the organization's objectives and in alignment with the enterprise strategy. Additionally, the Board of Directors is responsible for monitoring the EGIT program's progress and making adjustments when necessary.
