OMB, the CIO Council and GAO are revamping the FITARA scorecard to include metrics around citizen services, customer satisfaction and mission delivery.

In today’s Federal Newscast, over 40 Senate Democrats express opposition to how the Environmental Protection Agency is handling its collective bargaining with the American Federation of Government Employees.

Jay Mahanand, the chief information officer at the U.S. Agency for International Development, said the plan is to launch an enterprise portfolio management program that USAID will deploy worldwide in the coming months.

The House Oversight and Reform Committee will release the 8th Federal IT Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA) scorecard showing five agencies improving, five falling and 14 agencies holding steady.

GAO ranked 10 federal systems in most need of modernization and they range from 8-to-51 years old and cost about $337 million annually to maintain.

House Appropriations Financial Services and General Government subcommittee released its first draft of the 2020 spending bill that includes less money for the Technology Modernization Fund and other IT modernization efforts.

The House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittees on IT and Government Operations wants to see more agency behaviors change because of FITARA.

In today’s Federal Newscast, 11 agencies improved their grades, and for the first time no agency received an F on the Federal IT Acquisition Reform Act or FITARA scorecard.

At the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s hearing on Wednesday on the Federal IT Acquisition Reform Act, the latest scorecard is expected to show progress in several areas.
