Information technology (IT) governance is identified as an organizational skill of great importance to the strategic alignment and delivery of value through information technology (IT). Implementing IT governance, however, is a challenge to organizations. This paper aims to demonstrate the application of a method of information technology strategic planning (ITSP) for implementation of IT governance. This method has been developed considering the contributions of ITSPmethods and guidelines for implementation of IT governance, both available in existing literature. The proposed method was then applied to twenty Brazilian organizations from different sectors. The application results indicate that IT strategic planning is adequate for implementation of IT governance, creating a structured approach of implementation and emphasizing the IT strategic alignment. Key words: Information technology (IT) strategic planning, IT governance.
