Making your ICT projects work

The current information was given by the Infrastructure Projects Authority (IPA) shows some programmes that need to be working thus ensuring deliveries that are successful. According to the annual report that is given and published by IPA, there are many ICT projects and some central government transformation that are experiencing problems.

From September 2017, the lists of progress in the incentive that is held by The Government Major Projects Portfolio (GMPP) were detailed. The results showed that about seven out of 29 ICT projects and 13 out of the 41 transformation projects had delivery doubts and they were marked with red or amber. According to the information from the report, it can be deducted that, the delivery is feasible. The only thing that is needed is the direction of attention towards giving an overrun in the schedules and cost.

The good thing that we can get from the report is that none of the projects was unachievable by being given a red rating. Instead, about 14 for ICT projects and 24 of the transformation seem feasible. 8 and four plans for ICT and change respectively have a rating of green or amber. The shows hope of success but the only thing needed is continued attention to prevent threat development. According to the report, none of them is green thus the likelihood of success is high.

The previous year’s report was similar to the current one where the rating proportions had the same colors. That report indicated that there were many projects in the two categories and some were green rated in ICT. For military capability and construction projects, a red rating or a number is used in these two categories.

Problems in the Emergency services

According to the report given by the parliament’s public accounts committee, their indication shows unhappiness. Despite that, it is good to admit that a digital developments related project has severe problems. The project has a red rating after amber that it had been holding for the last three years. The GOV.UK Verify has an amber rating which is a downgrade from green /amber. Due to that reason, the central government department was denied the chance to take the identity assurance services. Despite that, they have an aim to enroll about 25 M users by 2020 through the help of TNSC ICT support.

ICT innovation

Due to the problems that are experienced in most government projects, the GMPP is always changing the portfolio of the projects that are carried by the government. The changes aim at making changes that show the policy priorities of the government. The present portfolio has 133 projects that cost 423 billion that cater for all departments.

In general, a green rating was given to 26 projects that were completed during the part of this year. Due to the constant review, there are chances of delivery improvement and proper management of challenges. That is why the government has ambitions in its current portfolio and projects. That is why we are asked to always help in creating the required condition and environment that leads to successful service delivery.
