Issue Description A December 2002 Office of Inspector General (OIG) audit report entitled, “Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Management of Information Technology (IT) Investments,” stated that in the past the FBI has not given sufficient management attention to IT investments. As a result, the FBI has not fully implemented critical processes necessary for such management and has invested large sums of money on IT projects without assurance that these projects would meet intended goals. |
||||||
What We Will Do About It FBI management has recognized that its past methods to manage IT projects have been deficient, and recently has committed to changing those practices. In January 2002, the FBI developed a conceptual model for selecting, controlling, and evaluating IT investments. The model seeks to define a process that will promote a Bureau-wide perspective on IT investment management, so that only IT projects with the best probability of improving mission performance are selected. Further, the process is intended to provide the methods, structures, disciplines, and management framework that governs the way IT projects are controlled and evaluated. |
