Members urge stronger reporting, public status pages and standardized project data
Summary
Committee members and a judicial branch representative urged defining standard reporting requirements, expanding dashboard reporting and creating a robust public status page showing funding, scope and timelines to improve transparency and oversight of state IT projects.
Several members urged clearer, standardized reporting and a public status page to make IT project status visible to legislators and the public. A judicial branch representative said a robust status page should include funding, scope and timelines so citizens can see "how my government dollars are being spent." “That would be my big thing is really focusing on defining what the reporting requirements are going to be required of each branch of government,” the representative said.
Members suggested using the ADS EPMO dashboard as a starting point for collecting project inventories and status stamps, and to require a standard set of annual reporting data so trends can be tracked rather than chasing individual project updates. The chair and others agreed staff could share the dashboard link for member review.
