ACT-IAC Announces Federal IT Planning Guides

February 9, 2023 – Fairfax, VA. – Today, the American Council for Technology and Industry Advisory Council (ACT-IAC), the premier public-private partnership in the government IT community, announced the release of its “Outlines for Key IT Planning Documents.” This guide provides best practice ideas for developing and structuring federal agency IT planning documents. The guide provides outlines for:
1. IT Modernization Plans
2. Cloud Computing Adoption Plans
3. Zero-Trust Architecture Plans
4. IT Workforce Strategic Plans
This work is a follow-on to last Fall’s release of the “Recommendations for Evolving the FITARA Scorecard” Report, that outlined a number of additions and modifications to the FITARA Scorecard to reflect changes in tech priorities and to help ensure the continued relevancy of this important measurement tool.
“Developing robust modernization plans which can then be tracked and managed will provide an excellent opportunity to focus Congressional oversight on ensuring progress in modernization efforts,” said Dave Wennergren, ACT-IAC CEO. “The guide will also help ensure agencies are focused on those improvements that will most help to enhance mission delivery.”
