Architecture Principles for The U.S. Government
Issued By: CIO Council - Effective Date: 08.24.2007, 0.04K, PDF
Abstract: We have committed ourselves to transforming the U.S. Government to become more citizen-centered, service-oriented and market-driven in order to achieve operational excellence for the American public. Such an endeavor requires an unprecedented level of coordination and consistent decision making across multiple departments, agencies and programs. To achieve this coordination, Architecture Principles for the US Government - a set of principles which defines what is most important to us - is adopted by the CIO Council. These principles balance departmant and agency mandates on the one hand and government-wide interests on the other. Clear, well-understood and sanctioned principles, combined with an executive commitment to enforce them, help drive change across disparate departments and programs, and also within agencies.
