TechStat in Action

See how previous TechStats have helped agency investments bring projects back to performance.

Given the size and complexity of the multi-billion dollar Federal IT Portfolio, we must relentlessly focus on the health of IT investments across the entire government. As the IT Dashboard continues to provide unprecedented insight into Federal IT investment performance, TechStat sessions will allow us to take action and turn around troubled programs. The IT Dashboard brought transparency, now TechStat brings accountability by allowing Federal managers to confront challenges together, make bold adjustments, and make program success a reality. These two tools working in conjunction with each other are critical to ensuring that the Federal government makes good on its promise to deliver better value and results for the American people.
