ABSTRACT
Technology and Information are vital to the success of companies. To leverage the successes in IT projects, companies have at their disposal, references globally accepted as good practices (COBIT, ITIL, PMBOK, ISO, TOGAF, etc.). In spite of this, it is still great the magnitude of spending on IT projects poorly designed or improperly implemented. This paper presents a brief description of standards and good practices related to governance and management of enterprise IT, defines the Lean Thinking, Lean IT, the Processes Management, the Portfolio, Program and Project Management, and the Work System Theory, and highlights the purpose of them, showing their characteristics and suggests a Framework of Lean Governance and Management of Enterprise IT, by demonstrating how the standards and good practices presented can work together, because it advocates that the Lean Thinking, the Process, Portfolio, Program, and Project Management, and the Work System Theory complement the standards and good practices of Governance and Management of Enterprise IT with an approach not referenced in these standards and good practices.
