Because of the pervasiveness of information technology in today’s dynamic and often turbulent business environments, ignore or avoid IT decisions is impossible in most sectors, industries and organizations now. In this circumstance, many organizations start to implement IT governance to achieve the stronger relationship between business and IT. Organizations with undergoing FEAF must start to the implementation of IT governance, although FEAF is one of the most integrated and robust frameworks in enterprise architecture which are suitable for a variety of government and also public and private sector organizations. But its focus on IT governance is not sufficient and reliable in most real cases. Thus, by this paper, we aim to propose developing a method to leverage FEAF as a candidate of EA framework by deploying a modern powerful IT governance framework called COBIT. By this trend we may expect to gain satisfying alignment of IT and Business processes and later to provide policies and best practices for monitoring the appropriate IT control and IT performance measurement in undergoing FEAF projects
