US Government IT Spending Dashboard

July 6, 2009 · Filed Under IT Estimating, Software Estimating  - 0 Comment(s)

The new government CIO has started a site showing the federal budget.  If you are interested in IT spending within the US government take a look at this site: “US Government IT Spending Dashboard.” 

The dashboards include project portfolio management, visualization and includes analysis.  Information encompassing many items such as:

  • New Versus Upgrade Versus Maintenance
  • Specific IT Spending By Category
  • Trends in spending by category

From the site’s background:

The IT Dashboard provides the public with an online window into the details of Federal information technology investments and provides users with the ability to track the progress of investments over time. The IT Dashboard displays data received from agency reports to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), including general information on over 7,000 Federal IT investments and detailed data for nearly 800 of those investments that agencies classify as “major.” The performance data used to track the 800 major IT investments is based on milestone information displayed in agency reports to OMB called “Exhibit 300s.” Agency CIOs are responsible for evaluating and updating select data on a monthly basis, which is accomplished through interfaces provided on the website.

 

Check out the IT Spending and Trend videos on the FAQ page for examples of how to use this resource.
