A roadmap for IT Modernization requires prioritization of the activities that must stop, pause, and start.  Since resources are limited in any organization, a prioritization of the initiatives within the IT Modernization must occur as separate activities.  The recommendation is to prioritize based upon the sense of urgency and highest impact that can be achieved.  The measurement should be described in terms of the benefits that will be realized.  As such, the activities associated to the benefits of security and reputation to achieve the outcome of stabilized operations can be considered for prioritization first, then followed by the benefits of efficiency and effectiveness to achieve the outcome of modernized operations, and finally a prioritization on the benefits of agility and innovation to move toward the outcome of a digital transformation.
