8.1.3: IT Dashboard

Enables federal agencies and the general public to view details of federal information technology investments.

Other Information:

The IT Dashboard is a new Web site, launched by the Office of Management and Budget in June 2009, which enables federal agencies and the general public to view details of federal information technology investments. The IT Dashboard helps the public review and track the spending, performance, and progress of technology investments over time. As a part of this dashboard, the public can easily obtain information about our technology investments. The performance of each of our major IT investments is rated on three factors: cost, schedule, and a CIO rating. Each month the DOL program office provides an update of the investment’s actual costs, as well as actual accomplishments of the program’s activities for that month. These two factors are compared against the planned activities for that month when the investment first began. The variance is then an indicator of how well the investment is achieving its performance goals at that point of its development. The third factor, the CIO assessment of the program, is primarily based on a risk assessment associated with the investment achieving its intended results.
