DOI IT Governance should strive to meet the same
objectives that are identified by private sector
companies

• Alignment of IT with the enterprise
• Realization of the promised benefits of IT
• Use of IT to enable the enterprise by exploiting
  opportunities and maximizing benefits
• Responsible use of IT resources
• Appropriate management of IT-related risks

We can summarize the DOI IT Governance objectives
into four focus areas

• Strategic Alignment focus on aligning with the
  business and collaborative solutions.
• Value Delivery focus on optimizing expenses and
  proving the value of IT.
• Risk Management focus on safeguarding IT
  assets, disaster recovery, and continuity of
  operations.
• Performance Measurement focus on tracking
  project delivery and monitoring IT services.

There are several reasons to move from the
current IT governance structure to a new
governance structure.

• The current governance structure
• Has too many standing technology teams
• Has too much overlap between the ARB and CTOC
• Has redundancy in architecture coordination with
  the IAWG and the DEAR IPT
• Lacks project level IPTs and CCBs that are part
  of the governance structure.

The IAWG and DEAR IPT are combined so that
architecture coordination is in one team. This
team coordinates and integrates all EA layers.

ITMC Approved IT Governance Structure Per
7/21/05 mtg.
The ARB no longer exists as technology issues are
coordinated through the CTOC. This team also has
reference model responsibilities (TRM).

The many standing domain architecture teams
(DATs) have been eliminated and replaced with
Technology Evaluation Teams (TETs) that are
created as needed.

Core Modernization Teams are supported by Project
IPTs and Project CCBs (as needed) that are
integrated with governance.

A Technology Control Board is introduced to
provide an enterprise-level CCB for
infrastructure projects and also perform risk
management functions (i.e. project
reviews/assistance).

Benefits of the new IT Governance Structure

• ITMC Approved governance structure
• Leveraged ad-hoc technology teams instead of
  standing teams.
• Combines the ARB and CTOC into a single
  technology focused entity.
• Combines the DEAR IPT and IAWG into a single team
  focused on architecture.
• Introduces project IPTs and CCBs that are
  integrated into the governance process.
• Introduces the Technology Control Board in order
  to provide CCB functions for infrastructure
  projects and risk management functions across DOI
  (i.e. project reviews/assistance).
