  1. Got budget comments (Fedspeak: "passback") from OMB this week. OMB stressed cloud computing & data center consolidation under a flat budget. 4:57 AM Dec 4th from web
  2. Normally OMB send us budget "passback" about now. OMB says what they like, don't like, and their priorities. But, this is NOT a normal year. 9:19 AM Nov 16th from web
  3. Start of a new fiscal year = performance review season. Everyone brags about their accomplishments. My boast: we are an excellent team! 11:47 AM Oct 9th from web
  4. Our IT planning season has largely come to an end. Staff go on leave, OMB gets very busy, & we figure out how to do things better next year. 4:06 AM Sep 25th from web
  5. The biz cases for the big, important IT stuff went to OMB today 1:03 PM Sep 22nd from mobile web

  9. Final OMB Exh 300 biz case format is out and (of course) the paper version is different from XML version. Is it really THAT hard to sync? 12:31 PM Aug 20th from web
  10. Some USDA agencies/offices are using tools for collective IT portfolio review/prioritization. Would love to see criteria used by each group. 8:00 AM Aug 12th from web
  11. USDA people are quickly catching on to the Dashboard. It will be interesting to see how the Hill uses it for the approp process this year. 8:28 AM Aug 5th from web
  12. The "99% version" of the Exh 300 biz case is out. Alot has changed. NTL, thanks to efforts of IT people across USDA we'll be in good shape. 8:28 AM Jul 31st from web
  13. The "new, improved" OMB pinged us for a CIO rating on the "beta" IT Dashboard. New Prez, but same old OMB! 12:58 PM Jul 23rd from mobile web
  14. "Rebaselining" will be a big deal in the federal IT world next month. OMB is tightening up on baseline changes on the IT Dashboard. Ouch! 6:27 AM Jul 22nd from web
  15. We had a meeting today with GAO on their EVM report. We have some work to do, but look pretty good relative to other Fed orgs. 8:33 AM Jul 21st from web

  18. OMB's de facto acceptable "excuses" for rebaselining IT projects came out yesterday. We are going to have to embed these in our processes. 4:28 AM Jul 17th from web
  19. We had a "family counseling" session with 2 USDA agencies yesterday. We need more psychology training! ;) 4:25 AM Jul 17th from web
