Over the last several years, the role of the federal CIO has evolved. They have seen significant gains in their oversight and operational influence in IT delivery for mission support, with a set of expanded tools and authorities that have brought exciting new opportunities.
The key authorities that broaden the CIO’s influence are:
Augmenting those programs, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)’s FY 2019 budget guidance introduces IT financial management cost analytics and capital planning using the Technology Business Management (TBM) framework. That calls for CIOs working with their Chief Financial Officer offices to take deep dives into IT labor and service offering cost allocations.
Congress and recent presidential administrations have done their part; taken together, IT financial management cost analysis, FITARA and the MGT Act provide federal CIOs with a greater breadth of authority and accountability than they have ever had.
Now it is up to federal CIOs to apply the authorities. How they undertake every stage of program, product and business lifecycle will determine whether modernization and digital transformation initiatives succeed or fail.
So where should CIOs begin? Below is a short list of recommendations to assist federal CIOs in aligning their program management efforts to improve decision-making and maximize results.
The goal of every agency is to carry out its mission effectively. FITARA, the MGT Act and IT cost analysis give CIOs what they need to move their agencies to the cloud and to streamline IT operations with strategic plans based on accurate data. CIOs have the tools to drive strategic opportunities for their agencies. Now is the time for CIOs to demonstrate the value of IT in federal mission delivery. IT modernization and cybersecurity are critically needed at all agencies.
