The grades most agencies have received for their efforts to implement the Federal IT Acquisition Reform Act have not been good. To understand why, it’s important to understand the scoring process.
Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) said the scorecards, which the Government Accountability Office is compiling for 24 covered agencies on a quarterly basis, are “a bit of an evolutionary process.”
“We felt the categories being measured right now would have a demonstrable benefit on IT acquisitions and operations,” Connolly told FCW, but “GAO already has put agencies on notice that they are not accurately calculating or reporting their project risks, so that needs to improve.”
