Information Technology: OMB and Agencies Need to Improve Planning, Management, and Oversight of Projects Totaling Billions of Dollars
The fed. govt. spends billions of dollars on info. tech. (IT) projects each year. Consequently, it is important that projects be managed effectively to ensure that public resources are wisely invested. To this end, the OMB identifies major projects and requires agencies to identify high-risk projects that are performing poorly. At times, changes to this info. -- called a re-baselining -- are made to reflect changed development circumstances. These changes can be done for valid reasons, but can also be used to mask cost overruns and schedule delays. This report: (1) provides an update on these projects; (2) identifies OMB¿s efforts to improve the identification and oversight of these projects; and (3) summarizes the results of an IT project re-baselining report.
