The SDM, to be deployed by the Department of Information Technology (DOIT), will be used in the development of major IT systems and projects. The methodology is a structured process, complete with guidelines and documentation requirements. “This Executive Order has the potential to save millions of taxpayer dollars,” Governor Rell said. “State agencies will now be employing best practices used extensively across the private sector. This will help to ensure that our information systems meet the State’s business requirements, while being developed on time and within budget. Now more than ever, state government must achieve cost savings whenever and wherever possible.” “What we are doing is adding a new discipline to our IT planning efforts. Making certain that our information systems deliver within established costs and timelines will help us better manage the risks inherent in large projects. Managing those risks will in turn maximize taxpayer dollars in building and deploying safe, secure and reliable information systems.” The SDM has seven phases, ranging from identifying business issues and defining requirements to post-implementation maintenance. It will be fully deployed no later than September 2008. Agencies will be required to use the SDM for all IT projects. A new project review process will be applied to those in excess of $1 million, requiring more than six months work effort and/or having an enterprise impact. © Copyright by NorwalkPlus.com.
