2.4: Templates and Training
Task CIO/CAO Councils to Build Templates and Training. Other Information:
OMB process changes alone, however, will not deliver a new effective agile IT development. The key to successful implementation
will be detailed actions by the agencies coordinated through the CIO/CAO Council. OMB should assign the CIO/CAO Council joint
responsibility for constructing detailed templates for executing agile IT development projects. The Council should develop
flexible guidelines for agencies to use in establishing common infrastructures or architectures for end user applications.
In addition, guidelines and templates should be developed that promote the use of Statements of Objectives in lieu of specification-heavy
Statements of Work for acquisitions where agile/incremental development is appropriate. Shifting agency cultures to effective
use of a new agile approach will require transforming the basis of training of senior IT acquisition managers from large-scale,
multi-year programs to the development and procurement of IT in small, simpler increments in a COTS/Open Source marketplace.
