“Federal agencies can improve the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of large-scale IT systems by learning from each other, and by leveraging best practices in the private and public sectors. The CIO Council created and will continue to evolve this Best Practices information-sharing platform to realize those benefits. Agencies will be aggregating case studies, lessons learned, and other tools here, helping to grow this platform into a robust resource for all Federal IT professionals. This platform implements point 10 from the 25-Point Implementation Plan To Reform Federal IT Management: “Within six months, the Federal CIO Council will develop a collaboration portal to exchange best practices, case studies, and allow for real-time problem-solving.” Federal agencies have begun developing case studies (below) that demonstrate their use of best practices in managing large-scale IT systems. Please check back for additional case studies, best practices, and other content related to effective IT management.”
