IT4IT Forum Way of Working

The IT4IT Forum is continuously developing content for the next release of the standard and/or for the IT4IT Body of Knowledge (Guides, white papers, case studies, etc). The Standing Committees manage the flow of work through the Forum and out to the IT community. The content itself is developed by the IT4IT topical work groups that are staffed by member volunteers who have passion and subject matter expertise. All committees and work groups are led by and contributed to by members. If you would like to propose a new topical work group or get involved with any existing work group or committee, please complete the form here.
