The Office of Management and Budget announced Dec. 9, 2010 that it will move forward with a plan for restructuring federal information technology. The specific changes outlined OMB’s 25-point implementation plan aimed at removing barriers that consistently get in the way of successful project management and execution. The 25 points are based on five broad changes to agency IT: Adopting light technologies and shared services; aligning the budget and acquisition process with the technology cycle; strengthening program management; streamlining governance and increasing accountability; and, increasing engagement with the IT community.
