| Agency IRM Planning |

The enterprise and agency business strategy sets forth a vision and a direction for the future. The enterprise and agency IRM Plans must consider information (and the people, processes and technologies that support it) as assets to be managed and leveraged to achieve those business strategies.
The purpose of IRM planning is to provide guidance for more detailed IT project planning. The focus of agency IRM planning is the agency's IT projects and infrastructure. However, agency IRM plans should take into account and align with enterprise IT projects and infrastructure.
IRM Planning Characteristics
- Supports enterprise and agency vision, mission, goals and objectives
- Aligns IT budget with the business plan
- Improves agency efficiency by effectively identifying the list of IT projects the agency plans to complete and how those projects will help achieve business outcomes
- Identifies and tests innovative ways to use technology to serve customers and expand opportunities for public access to government information and services
- Promotes partnerships with other agencies, local/regional jurisdictions and the private sector
- Demonstrates compliance with state’s technical architecture and standards through IT asset inventory and the creation of life cycle replacement plans and application portfolios
- Identifies IT and technical staff resources and training needs
