Reforming the Federal Government's Efforts to Manage Information Technology Projects, M-10-25
Issued By: OMB - Effective Date: 06.28.2010, 60.019K, pdf
Abstract: Information technology (IT) has transformed how the private sector operates and revolutionized the efficiency, convenience, and effectiveness with which it serves its customers. The Federal Government has not taken full advantage of this transformation due to poor management of its technology investments. Too many Government IT projects cost hundreds of millions of dollars more than they should, take years longer than necessary to deploy, and deliver technologies that are obsolete by the time they are completed.
This Administration has begun to address these problems, and our early efforts – such as the IT Dashboard – are off to a good start. However, more remains to be done. The Administration is committed to fundamentally reforming the way the Federal Government manages IT projects so that we can lower costs and improve government performance.
