Federal Information Technology Reform Act
Symposium Series
The Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA) is one of the key elements of the current administration's efforts to improve Government information technology. It aligns with the Administrations key technology objectives of
(1) driving value in Federal IT investments,
(2) delivering world-class digital services, and
(3) protecting Federal IT assets and information.
FITARA outlines specific requirements related to:
1. Enhanced Authority for Chief Information Officers (CIO)
2. Increased Transparency and Improved Risk Management
3. Expanded Portfolio Reviews
4. Expansion of Training for IT Personnel
5. Consolidating Data Centers
6. Maximizing the Benefit of the Federal Strategic Sourcing
7. Government-wide Software Purchasing
Purpose
This symposium is the second in a series of Government – Industry discussions of the implementation of FITARA and its implications for Federal IT Acquisition reform. The series will address various aspects of how FITARA will be implemented and the changes this will bring to the Federal IT acquisition landscape, and will feature talks from both Government and industry leaders on various aspects of the legislation.
Theme: Tracing to Outcomes – Increasing Visibility
Transparency is a key element of FITARA. Agencies will need to trace plans, investments, budgets, procurements and resources to business and mission outcomes. The approaches pioneered to enhance visibility across the CxO communities can benefit all areas of Government.
Session 1 - DHS Management Cube Case Study, Use of Analytics to Improve Performance and Boost Decision-making
Chris Chilbert, Deputy Executive Director, Enterprise Business Management Office and Kirsten Dalboe will present DHS efforts and results for increasing visibility across the DHS enterprise, as well as mission results achieved in IT and other areas. They will demonstrate the DHS Management Cube, a management decision-making tool developed using GovDashboard that aggregates data across all DHS domains (HR, security, facilities, contracts, projects, etc.) and presents the information in intuitive dashboards.
Session 2 - FITARA Implementation Leads Panel
The second part of the symposium will feature a panel of agency implementation leads from various organizational functions (CIO, CFO, Human Captial, Procurement) addressing planning to achieve the 30-point common baseline and how agencies will transform the way they use IT to perform their day-to-day functions. The session will examine experiences with identifying gaps, roles and responsibilities and approaches to developing cost transparency.
Background
On June 10 OMB released its guidance for FITARA implementation in a memo from Shaun Donovan: M-15-14, Management and Oversight of Federal Information Technology. Download the memo here.
Read Federal CIO Tony Scott's June 10, 2015 blog post, A New Foundation for Technology Management, on CIO.Gov here.
FITARA changes the Chief Information Officer’s (CIO) role significantly, and will impact the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Chief Human Capital Officer (CHCO), Chief Acquisition Officer (CAO), Assistant Secretaries for Management (ASAM), Chief Operating Officers (COOs), and IT Program Management communities.
Key objectives for the regular agency reviews under PrtfolioStat that are driven by FITARA are:
- Provide a multi-year strategy to identify and reduce duplication and waste within the IT portfolio of the agency, including component-level investments and to identify projected cost savings resulting from such strategy;
- Identify or develop ways to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the IT investments of the agency;
- Identify or develop opportunities to increase the use of shared-service delivery models;
- Identify potential duplication and waste;
- Develop plans for actions to optimize the IT portfolio, programs, and resources of the agency;
- Review investments included in High Impact Programs; and
- Develop ways to better align the IT portfolio, programs, and financial resources of the agency to long term mission requirements or strategic plans required by law.
AFEI is hosting this series to help Government agencies and their industry partners understand more about how the legislation affects them, examine the challenges they will face, and help agencies take steps to implement FITARA using an agile and outcome driven approach. The events will showcase best practices and benefits, and help agencies develop a road map to successful implementation and demonstrable results. The events will also provide industry a better understanding of how to support agency efforts.

Session 1
The DHS Management Cube - Moving Multiple Lines of Busines Towards FITARA Implementation
Case Study
Kirsten Dalboe
Program Manager, DHS
DHS has developed a management cube that uses data-driven analytics to help answer who, what, when, where, why and how questions, and make decisions to better manage DHS as a whole. The management cube is an enterprise data warehouse with an analytics tool on top that fuses data across 6 lines of business including CFO, CAO/CHCO, CIO, real property, etc.
"This effort is led by a close partnership between the Office of the Chief Information Officer and the Office of the Chief Financial Officer, ...by reducing the burden of data gathering and correlation, the Management Cube will allow us to better explore trends, relationships, and correlations across people, asset, funding, and investment data."
- Chris Cummiskey, Under Secretary for Management(Acting)
