To support agency missions, the federal government plans to spend at least $82 billion on information technology (IT) investments in fiscal year 2014. However, as we have previously reported, prior IT expenditures too often have produced failed projects-that is, projects with multimillion dollar cost overruns and schedule delays measured in years, with questionable mission-related achievements.Many of these investments have been broadly scoped projects that aim to deliver their capabilities several years after initiation.

Book excerpt: " Federal agencies plan to spend at least $82 billion on IT in fiscal year 2014. However, prior IT expenditures have often produced disappointing results. Thus, OMB has called for agencies to deliver investments in smaller parts or increments. In 2010, it called for IT investments to deliver capabilities every 12 months and now requires investments to deliver capabilities every 6 months. GAO was asked to review agencies' incremental development approaches. Among other things, this report (1) assesses whether selected agencies have established policies for incremental IT development; and (2) determines whether selected agencies are using incremental development approaches to manage their IT investments. To do so, GAO selected five agencies-Defense, HHS, DHS, Transportation, and VA-and 89 total investments at these agencies. GAO then reviewed the agencies' incremental development policies and plans.

Historically, long-term system development projects have often produced disappointing results. To help address these issues, OMB now requires agencies to deliver useable functionality every 6 months to reduce risk and deliver capabilities more quickly. GAO's objectives were to (1) describe the number of major IT investments primarily in development identified on the IT Dashboard as reporting the delivery of functionality every 6 months; (2) assess selected departments' and investments' delivery of incremental functionality and determine the factors affecting delivery rates; and (3) assess the quality and completeness of selected departments' plans to employ incremental development practices. GAO analyzed information on the IT Dashboard, analyzed reported project data and policies of 7 selected departments with the most investments primarily in development, and interviewed OMB and department officials.

Recognizing the severity of issues related to government-wide IT management, Congress enacted federal IT acquisition reform legislation in December 2014. Among other things, the law states that OMB require in its annual IT capital planning guidance that CIOs certify that IT investments are adequately implementing incremental development. GAO was asked to review agencies' use of incremental development. This report addresses the number of investments certified by agency CIOs as implementing adequate incremental development and any reported challenges, and whether agencies' CIO certification policies and processes were in accordance with FITARA. GAO is making 19 recommendations to 17 agencies, including 3 to improve reporting accuracy and 16 to update or establish certification policies.
