4. COMMONWEALTH IT STRATEGIC PLANNING
4.1 Purpose
This Section describes the IT strategic planning process and relates the process to
other commonwealth strategic planning efforts. The section also establishes the
commonwealth technology portfolio (CTP) as the executive branch repository for
technology investments and agency IT strategic plans.
4.2 Description
Commonwealth agency strategic plans, the Commonwealth Strategic Plan for
Information Technology, the long-term objectives set forth by the Council on
Virginia’s Future, and the Governor’s Priority Initiatives are used to ensure that IT
investments
directly
and
measurably
support
business
goals.
Both
the
commonwealth strategic planning process and the ITIM process align with the
commonwealth budgeting cycle.
Agencies within the executive branch develop and implement strategic plans and
budgets designed to support the achievement of commonwealth long-term objectives
and the fulfillment of agency missions and mandates. Strategic planning is a
management tool used by agency leaders to determine and communicate what the
agency wants to accomplish in the upcoming budget biennium, to provide guidance
to all agency departments, to track the agency’s overall performance, and to make
course corrections to help the agency achieve its strategic goals.
Updates to the commonwealth and agency strategic plans occur in conjunction with
key budget events, for example the submission of the Governor’s budget to the
General Assembly or the passage of the Appropriation Act. Ad hoc strategic planning
updates are allowed throughout the year as needed to support changing business
priorities.
In developing their IT strategic plans, agencies rely on several external sources of
information as well as internal documentation. These sources and the agency IT
strategic plan are described in the following sections.
4.2.1 The Council on Virginia’s Future
The Council on Virginia’s Future was established on July 1, 2003, to measure
Virginia’s performance, prioritize future goals, and establish metrics to help measure
the commonwealth’s progress toward meeting those goals. The Council on Virginia's
Future promulgates the Roadmap for Virginia's Future, a planning and accountability
process capable of building and sustaining a consistent focus - throughout all
functions and locations of state government - on those things most vital to Virginia's
Future. The Roadmap for Virginia's Future identifies long term business objectives
for the commonwealth. Further information about The Council on Virginia's Future
can be found at their website,
