6. Conclusion
This document has addressed the implementation of the concepts and precepts defined in An Enhanced Framework for the Management of Information Technology Projects (Enhanced Framework) approved and published in May 1996. TBS has directed departments to apply this framework to existing projects, as applicable, and to all future information technology projects.
Implementation of the Enhanced Framework is designed to ensure that government information technology projects fully meet the needs of the business functions they are intended to support, deliver all expected benefits, and are completed on time, to cost and functionality. It is also anticipated that implementation will, over time, enable departments to increase their levels of authority.
Canada is establishing itself as a leader in the field of IT/IM project management and delivery. To the best of the Treasury Board's knowledge, no government in the world has put in place such an ambitious program. With IT/IM being so crucial to the efficient and effective delivery of its programs and services, Canada cannot afford not to harvest the benefits of the technology it deploys every year.
Implementation of the Enhanced Framework constitutes a significant step towards operational effectiveness within the government. The opportunity offered to senior government managers to embrace a proven solution to a widely recognized problem should not be missed.
