At the top of the structure are four senior management entities including the Chief Information Officer (CIO), Deputy CIO, Management Review Board (MRB), and Technical Review Board (TRB). Four subcommittees including the Enterprise Architecture, Capital Planning, IT Architecture, and IT Security Sub-Committees report directly to the TRB. The TRB in turn reports to the Deputy CIO and the MRB. The MRB and CIO provide the highest level of governance leadership for IT investments. A fifth sub-committee called the Configuration Control Sub-Committee reports to the IT Architecture Sub-Committee. All of the sub-committees are supported, advised, and counseled by the OCIO EA Program Office, Capital Planning Office, and Security, which are managed by and report to the Deputy CIO. The colored boxes in the figure illustrate the high-level responsibilities each sub-committee is tasked with in relation to this governance structure.
