Federal chief information officers (CIOs) may have thought that their days of anxiously awaiting final grades each semester ended when they graduated high school; but, since 2014, the Federal Information […]

I’ve loved hearing new iterations of the FITARA scorecards as they’ve been released. CIO Olson noting that “IT doesn’t live in a vacuum” is spot on and these scorecards/grades have been helpful in showing just how much cross-functional teams need to work together toward bettering their standing.

Katie Malone wrote a new post, As Cyberattacks Persist, State and Local Governments Look for Federal Support, on the site GovLoop 3 weeks, 6 days ago

I love that local leaders like Mayor Lance Bottoms are working to make sure we as a collective are learning from these cyberattacks so that fewer occur moving forward. It goes without saying that state and local leaders need federal support to protect assets from cyberattacks, and hearings like this drive that point home over and over. Really interesting piece, Katie.

Great piece, Katie! I am eager to read the full analysis, but I’m sure USAJobs’s poor performance (again) comes as no surprise to most folks familiar with it. Here’s to hoping Earley and her team are ahead of the curve with more improvements in the pipeline.

I really enjoyed this recap, plus these are great tips! I think the idea of a brief morning standup each day is so easy to implement but so immediately helpful. The parking lot method sounds intriguing too!

This is an awesome quote: “The soul of digital services is user-centered design,” Deshpande said in an interview with GovLoop.
I agree with Mark! But my favorite personally is: “It’s more about the outcome than the output.” This is just one of those stories of government innovation that makes so much sense, which is awesome. Gutteral reactions and search bars are such great measurements, and happy to hear the focus on UCD.
