Abstract : Many enterprises seek to develop their information systems and invest huge resources to reach this goal. To achieve the demanded efficiency in this development process, they must resort to strategic planning in order to draw the right future vision for this development process and integrate it with the overall business planning process. In this paper, we present a practical methodology for developing information technology (IT) strategic plans that was designed and implemented successfully during the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Transport IT strategic planning project. This was a project that aimed to link the IT future directions in the Ministry and its needs as decided by its future business development plans. In addition, we explain the phases which comprise this methodology; namely, analyzing and documenting strategic business directions, documenting the current state of IT and determining the existing gap between this current state of the IT sector and its envisioned future directions. We also describe how this methodology was implemented in the case of the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Transport and give the set of IT policies which were recommended as an output of this project. These IT policies were also ordered based on their implementation priority values which were calculated using a special mathematical model. This model calculates these IT policy implementation priority values based on their technological, computational and human requirements as well as the degree with which they would support the Ministry's future business directions. Accordingly, the model calculates the effect of each of these requirements and then calculates the final priority value for each IT policy as the weighted sum of these effects.
