The implementation of the Technology Business Management (TBM) framework by the U.S. federal government began in 2017 to standardize IT costs, resources, and solutions. However, as of now, the project has significantly stalled, with auditors demanding action. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) took the lead on TBM but has not made adequate progress. Agencies are awaiting clearer guidance, with many lacking proper cost models. Five years after initial plans, OMB has only partially implemented the framework without expanding requirements as promised, leading to potential inefficiencies in IT spending reporting.
The federal government began implementing the Technology Business Management (TBM) framework in 2017, aiming to standardize IT costs and resources across agencies.
Auditors have found that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has made insufficient progress in implementing the TBM framework, leaving agencies without clear guidance.
The lack of a comprehensive TBM implementation plan has resulted in confusion among agencies regarding IT spending reporting and cost modeling.
Despite the initial plans for a complete taxonomy of IT costs, five years later, OMB has not expanded requirements beyond the first two layers.
