In June, the Department of Defense ended the school year with an “F+” on the Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act’s Scorecard 4.0 – a mark the DOD’s CIO says the department is taking steps to boost.
Lawmakers chided the DOD for its grade – the lowest of the 24 agencies measured – which dropped from a D+ in December 2016. Representatives decried the “F” scores DOD received in three of the four measured areas: transparency, CIO authority and data center optimization.
