IT Modernization Metrics

[Wanrashid1]

While GSA hopes to disrupt agency paradigms with practices like moving to the cloud, opening up data, and adopting user-centered design, there are few well designed metrics/milestones to understand where the agencies are at on this path to modernization. Some of this information exists buried in different government reports, with some of this information remaining difficult to find. The goal of this project would be to understand the state of metrics on IT modernization, what some of these metrics might be, and to determine whether or not it would be useful to create a government-wide service to track these metrics, complementary to performance.gov and analytics.gov.
