OMB POLICY STATEMENTS
Contactors and OMB Decide Fate of Troubled Projects
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) put industry and federal project managers on notice that the Obama administration will end information technology projects identified as high risk. In response, some vendor groups have asked the Obama administration to let contractors sit in on closed-door meetings that decide the fate of some of these projects. "If a project ended up on the risk list, then he should plan to have TechStat Sessions with not only the government team but the industry team too," said Trey Hodgkins, vice president for national security and procurement policy for TechAmerica.
