management and planning, and public value. Qualitative data about the method application in five Brazilian

aligned with specific demands of this sector. Based on these case studies, results show patterns of demands for
IT and IT governance mechanisms in studied organizations. This work contributes to better understand on how to
strategically align IT to public organizations value proposal.
