3.6 Commonwealth Agencies
Commonwealth agencies are defined as any agency, institution, board, bureau,
commission, council, public institution of higher education, or instrumentality of state
government in the executive department listed in the appropriation act. Agencies
are the business owners of IT investments in the commonwealth, and the key
stakeholders in the ITIM lifecycle. All ITIM activities support commonwealth agency
IT investment decisions. Within agencies, the agency head and the Agency IT
Resource (AITR) have specific roles in executing ITIM activities, as delineated in
Section 8.
3.7 Commonwealth Programs
A program is a group of related projects managed in a coordinated way to obtain
business value and control. Programs may include elements of related work outside
of the scope of the discrete projects in the program. A program can be established in
a variety of ways:
By an agency to manage a group of projects collectively;
By a Secretariat to manage a collection of projects that require collaboration
across agency or Secretariat boundaries;
By the Governor to facilitate enterprise-wide (i.e. state government-wide)
productivity and technology improvements, shared services, or collaboration
across Secretariat boundaries; or
By the General Assembly.
Where the CIO has an interest or oversight responsibilities for the IT components of
a program, PMD will provide oversight on behalf of the CIO.
3.8 IT Governance Groups
As noted in section 2.5, IT governance groups (PMD, ITIMD, Security, EA, CDG, and
SCM) are responsible for ensuring that proposed and current IT investments conform
to Code of Virginia and governance requirements. In addition to the activities stated
in section 2.5, the groups periodically review existing IT investments. As a result of
such a review, a governance group may identify an operational risk/issue (OR/I) that
is documented and presented to an agency. The agency receiving an OR/I must
respond with a remediation plan, which may include a Business Requirement for
Technology entry in the agency or commonwealth technology portfolio (see section
6.2.1.3).
