[Dolf van der Haven · Rating 3 out of 5]

The COBIT 2019 series of books continues here, listing in excruciating detail the governance and management objectives, and managing to spend over 300 pages on it. The level of detail provided is admirable, but mind-numbing. I spent about an hour just on the EDM domain, then leaved through the rest.
References to other frameworks are of random quality :as before, old versions of ISO/IEC 20000-1 and ITIL are used. Oddly, in the quality management area, reference to ISO 9001 is not made at all.
If you want to implement COBIT 2019 thoroughly (and have the time for it), this is your telephone directory. For the average passer-by, it feels like reading DSM-V (Diagnostical and Statistical Manual for mental diseases) again.
