Best Practices for Realizing Value from Enterprise Architecture in the Federal Government

Information and technology management is a key enabler of management reform efforts that can dramatically reshape agency mission performance and cost. Agencies seeking to strengthen information technology (IT) responsiveness to missions, enhance the value of strategic planning, enterprise architecture, and capital planning and investment control (CPIC) to programs, and elevate IT investment oversight should seek to leverage criteria and guidance from the President’s Management Agenda (PMA) Expanded Electronic Government (E-Gov) initiative.

The disciplines scored as part of E-Gov — enterprise architecture (EA), IT security remediation, adoption of E-Gov lines of business (LoB) and SmartBuy initiatives, business case development, and IT investment/portfolio management – provide a bridge between agency strategic goals and implementation programs. By understanding the interdependencies between E-Gov disciplines, agencies can develop a roadmap for addressing specific IT management needs and realize improvements within manageable timeframes.
