HUD Policy for Information Technology Strategic Planning
1. Purpose
This Information Technology (IT) Strategic Planning policy serves as the authority for establishing IT
strategic planning requirements, objectives, procedures, guidelines, and standards to guide effective IT
strategic planning and implementation.
This policy promotes effective and efficient processes for developing, reviewing, and implementing an IT
strategic plan for the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that will align overall HUD
mission, goals, and objectives with day-to-day IT decisions and actions.
Specifically, this policy establishes IT strategic planning as a critical component of the overall IT
Management (ITM) Framework, which guides the management, implementation, and monitoring of IT

investments for HUD
.
This is the first issuance of this policy. It overrides any conflicting policies that were published prior to its
issuance.
2. Background
Under the direction of the Chief Information Officer (CIO), the Office of Chief Information Officer (OCIO)
provides support to HUD in terms of IT systems and services needed to ensure that HUD’s employees
have the information they need when and where they need it so that they can make effective and
informed decisions and actions. The HUD ITM Framework integrates these Federal IT mandates and
directives into a seamless system of management focused on providing transparency, accountability,
and responsibility throughout the entire IT management process. The ITM Framework provides:
The control required to optimize each dollar spent on IT and to comply with the range of Federal
legislative mandates that have been enacted to improve IT resource management
The accountability to ensure traceability and responsibility for each dollar spent on IT
The resiliency needed to respond to rapid and dramatic changes in HUD’s environment and
missions
IT strategic planning is a critical component of the ITM Framework (Figure 1).
