Figure 11 - Overall COBIT Framework (source:[1]).<br />

However, COBIT does not inclu<strong>de</strong> process steps and tasks because, although it is oriented<br />

toward IT processes, it is a control and manag<strong>em</strong>ent framework rather than process framework.<br />

COBIT focuses on what an enterprise needs to do, not how it needs to do it, and the target<br />

audience is senior business manag<strong>em</strong>ent, senior IT manag<strong>em</strong>ent and auditors [21].<br />

as well as math<strong>em</strong>atical solutions that i<strong>de</strong>ntify root causes and eliminate <strong>de</strong>fects. The quality<br />

manag<strong>em</strong>ent philosophy of Six Sigma can also be exten<strong>de</strong>d to SLM. The disciplined Six Sigma<br />

approach calls upon practitioners to <strong>de</strong>fine, measure, analyze, improve, and control (DMAIC),<br />

so it is very well-suited to a business process like SLM [15].<br />
