Agile Government: Elusive, But Not Impossible (Really)

摘要

Bloated, slow-moving federal agencies (sorry, but that's most of you) must get the lead out.The $15 trillion national debt demands it, the public wants it, and the technology now exists to help. Don't laugh. With its $3.7 trillion in spending and more than 2 million employees, the federal government is obviously better known for its enormous girth than for tum-on-a-dime performance. But there's a coming together of technologies and IT management philosophies at the federal level-agile development, cloud first, shared services, a national mobility strategy-that is cause for guarded optimism.
