MIT 704 · Day 4: IT Governance, COBIT 2019 & 5-Year TCO

🌱 Connecting Your Hackathon Project to Day 4

CRITICAL INSTRUCTION: Do not invent a new, disconnected project topic. During the Agri-Fisheries IT Hackathon Workshop, your student team selected a real-world coastal or agricultural hazard and produced an initial Hackathon Project Charter (e.g., LandingWatch, BantayBaybay, PalayTrust, AgriTrack).

In Day 4: IT Governance, COBIT 2019 & 5-Year TCO, your team takes that exact same project charter and advances it through today's graduate-level governance stage. Every day in this 5-day curriculum builds one unified, audit-ready master project dossier!

📋 Step-by-Step Instructions: What To Do Today

Retrieve Your Hackathon Project Charter

Open your team's Hackathon Charter from the Hackathon Panel above. Identify your selected Problem Statement, Target Beneficiary Group, and Core Technical Innovation.

🏆 Gold-Standard Worked Reference Exemplar: BantayBaybay Puerto Alon

This is an authentic, graduate-level reference dossier illustrating how the BantayBaybay team executed Day 4. Use this as your benchmark for rigor, formatting, and depth.

1. COBIT 2019 Alignment & 5-Year Ownership Reality

The 5-year analysis revealed that upfront procurement (₱1.1M) was only 45.6% of the commitment. The municipal council was mandated to budget recurring annual appropriations: SIM cellular data (₱48k/yr) + Cloud database hosting (₱60k/yr) + Year 3 battery refresh (₱120k) + Maintenance retainers (₱130k/yr) = ₱2.41M Total 5-Year Ownership Cost.

## 🧭 HACKATHON CONTINUITY BRIEF
*In Day 4, your team elevates your Hackathon project from a one-off technical build into a sustained institutional asset by establishing formal ISO/IEC 38500 governance, aligning with COBIT 2019 objectives, and modeling full 5-year operational lifecycle costs.*

---

## 1. Governance vs. Management Separation (ISO/IEC 38500)
* **Governance Body (Municipal IT Steering Committee):**
  * **Evaluate:** Evaluates societal disaster risks, fisherfolk needs, and municipal budget constraints.
  * **Direct:** Directs technical strategy via municipal executive orders, data privacy mandates, and funding appropriations.
  * **Monitor:** Monitors benefits realization, COA statutory compliance, and casualty reduction metrics.
* **Management Body (Project Manager & ICT Office):**
  * **Plan, Build, Run, Monitor (PBR):** Executes daily sprint delivery, oversees telemetry tower maintenance, monitors telco gateway health, and prepares operational status reports.

---

## 2. COBIT 2019 Goals Cascade Traceability Matrix
1. **Stakeholder Driver:** High mortality rate and boat capsizes among municipal fisherfolk during sudden sea squalls.
2. **Enterprise Goal (EG01):** Public safety and disaster resilience for coastal citizens (Aligned with Local Government Code Mandate).
3. **IT Alignment Goal (AG04):** Agile and resilient IT-enabled services delivering life-critical telemetry in real time.
4. **Selected Governance & Management Objectives:**
   * **EDM02 (Ensured Benefits Realization):** Continuous tracking of emergency alert speed and casualty reduction.
   * **APO12 (Managed Risk):** Redundant power, cellular tower failover, and battery theft countermeasures.
   * **BAI03 (Solutions Identification & Build):** Modular sensor hardware and scalable cloud SMS architecture.
   * **MEA01 (Managed Performance & Conformance):** Strict adherence to COA asset guidelines and RA 9184 procurement rules.

---

## 3. Five-Year Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Modeler
*Upfront capital procurement represents less than half of an enterprise system's true financial commitment.*

| Cost Category | Year 1 (CapEx + OpEx) | Year 2 (OpEx) | Year 3 (OpEx + Refresh) | Year 4 (OpEx) | Year 5 (OpEx) | 5-Year Total |
| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| **Initial Hardware Procurement & Civil Works** | ₱940,000 | ₱0 | ₱0 | ₱0 | ₱0 | ₱940,000 |
| **Implementation Contingency Reserves** | ₱90,000 | ₱0 | ₱0 | ₱0 | ₱0 | ₱90,000 |
| **Management Reserve Envelope** | ₱70,000 | ₱0 | ₱0 | ₱0 | ₱0 | ₱70,000 |
| **Cellular SIM Cards & M2M Telemetry Data** | ₱48,000 | ₱48,000 | ₱48,000 | ₱48,000 | ₱48,000 | ₱240,000 |
| **Cloud Hosting & SMS Gateway Subscription** | ₱60,000 | ₱60,000 | ₱60,000 | ₱60,000 | ₱60,000 | ₱300,000 |
| **Quarterly Sensor Calibration & Tower Retainer** | ₱130,000 | ₱130,000 | ₱130,000 | ₱130,000 | ₱130,000 | ₱650,000 |
| **Mid-Life Battery & Solar Charge Controller Refresh**| ₱0 | ₱0 | ₱120,000 | ₱0 | ₱0 | ₱120,000 |
| **ANNUAL EXPENDITURE TOTALS** | **₱1,338,000** | **₱238,000** | **₱358,000** | **₱238,000** | **₱238,000** | **₱2,410,000** |

* **Key Governance Takeaway:** CapEx (₱1.1M) is only **45.6%** of 5-year TCO. Municipal appropriations must legally budget ₱238k–₱358k annually for operational sustainability.

Slide 1 of 36 Agri-Fisheries & Blue Economy IT Hackathon

⚡ Workshop Structure: 2-Hour Action Sprint

Teams of 3 to 5 graduate students working simultaneously across 3 workstreams. Every team develops and pitches one fundable, field-tested IT solution for Philippine artisanal agriculture or fisheries.

Round 1 Problem Storm (15m)

Open the class scoring spreadsheet and write five grassroots problems in your community. Every problem must be framed from the fisher's or farmer's point of view, backed with empirical field evidence (no jumping to solutions).

Round 2 Score & Select (15m)

Score each problem 1 to 5 on the 6 weighted criteria. Before locking in the #1 winner, the team's designated Devil's Advocate delivers the strongest objection, and the team must defend it in one sentence.

Round 3 Charter Sprint (35m)

Split into 3 workstreams to fill the 11-section Project Charter: SMART criteria, Level-2 WBS, System Context Diagram, Milestones, and a preliminary budget with a mandatory 10% contingency reserve.

Round 4 Panel Pitch (5m)

3-minute 1-slide pitch to municipal stakeholder roles (Mayor, MAO, BFAR, Fisherfolk Co-op, ICT/DPO) followed by a 2-minute defense defending operational and financial feasibility.

If your team needs empirical inspiration, draw from these real-world coastal and rural municipal challenges:

🐟 Municipal Fisheries

• FishR and BoatR municipal registries severely out of date.
• Zero recorded catch logs for municipal waters under 15km.
• Late gale warnings fail to reach fishers without smartphone 4G.
• Red tide shellfish harvesting bans arrive after market dispatch.

🌾 Agriculture & Smallholders

• Farmers missing from RSBSA registry, blocking DA fuel subsidies.
• PCIC crop insurance claim verification stuck on physical paper.
• Armyworm and blast pest outbreaks reported days too late.

🌊 Aquaculture & Seaweed

• Estuary water salinity and pH tested manually once a week.
• Ice-ice seaweed blight spreads without predictive environmental warning.

⚖️ Landing Sites & Cold Chain

• Severe price asymmetry: fishers sell at buyer price without market feeds.
• 30% post-harvest loss from inadequate ice logistics at municipal piers.

🌿 Mangroves & MPA Ecology

• Thousands of mangrove saplings planted with zero survival monitoring.
• Marine Protected Area (MPA) patrol logs kept on paper notebooks.

Criterion	Weight	Anchor: Score 1 (Weak)	Anchor: Score 5 (Exemplary)
Livelihood Impact	25%	Touches <20 households; minor economic inconvenience	Directly protects hundreds of livelihoods, food security, or life safety
Feasibility	20%	Requires unavailable satellite arrays or 4G LTE at sea	Feasible in 12 months using 2G SMS, solar batteries, and local LGU staff
Urgency & Vulnerability	15%	Can wait 3 years with negligible public impact	Critical immediate hazard: loss of life, harvest failure, or stock collapse
Sustainability & Climate	15%	Zero ecological or climate resilience benefit	Directly reduces disaster risk, preserves fish stocks, or restores mangroves
Data Readiness	15%	No registries exist; Data Privacy Act compliance impossible	Empirical registries exist (FishR, RSBSA) and are legally accessible
Policy Alignment	10%	Not mentioned in any municipal or national plans	Explicitly prioritized in LGU AIP, Coastal Resource Plan, or BFAR mandate
