IT Capital Planning

 Project Snapshot –

Department of State Information Technology (IT) Strategic, Tactical and Capital Planning Support

IT capital asset planning is the overarching management process that incorporates all aspects of IT management in a cradle-to-grave approach. IT capital asset planning addresses legislated management reforms for improving IT management. This includes the three-phase process for selecting, controlling, and evaluating IT investments.

The primary goal of IT Capital Planning and Investment Control is to improve the IT management process by ensuring that executives have accurate and meaningful information for IT decision-making. This includes critical information on the proposed IT investment's overall value to the organization, the return on the investment, and effective risk management plans.
