CITM case studies
CITM · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Certified Information Technology Manager (CITM) is a vendor-neutral credential aimed at people who manage technology rather than only operate it: IT managers, team leads, senior engineers moving into management, and business managers with technology oversight. It tests whether you can connect IT work to organisational strategy, run services and projects predictably, and govern security, risk, data, and money in a defensible way. The CITM case studies are 5 cases and about 4,545 words.
