9.1: Resources
Dedicate resources throughout the program lifecycle and co-locate when possible Other Information:
For each large IT program, critical members of the IPT will serve as full-time resources dedicated to the program. This must
include a 100% dedicated IT program manager, but other roles will vary by program. Key members of the IPT will also be co-located
during the most critical junctures of the program. This is especially important during the requirements-writing phase, when
business, IT and acquisition must define and modify requirements in short iterative cycles, and when “translation issues”
have historically caused problems. The core of the IPT, including all IT program leadership roles, will be in place throughout
the program lifecycle, from the initial concept development phase through the delivery of the last increment under the contract.
For major IT investments, agency leadership will approve the composition of the integrated program team and the dedicated
program manager.
