1.1: Program Managers

Identify agency data center program managers to lead consolidation efforts

Other Information:

Large IT projects often fail to meet goals because of distributed accountability for success. Large, complex, and critical infrastructure programs, such as data center consolidation, require a single person to lead the coordinated effort. Within the next six months, each agency will designate a senior, dedicated data center consolidation program manager with project management experience and technical competence in IT infrastructure.

Stakeholder(s):

• Program Managers: Because data center consolidation requires interactions with many stakeholder groups, the data center program manager must also have strong communication skills. The data center program manager at each agency will be responsible for developing a plan with interim, verifiable milestones to reach the agency’s data center reduction target and monitor progress toward those goals.
