Proposed New Rules, 8 CCR 1501-12, IT Lifecycle Planning
OIT is preparing to develop new rules regarding information technology lifecycle planning and seeks public input.
These rules are intended to ensure that technology supports the mission of providing government services. In particular, the proposed rules establish a technology lifecycle plan, as directed by Senate Bill 24-224. The lifecycle plan enables OIT to deliver an annual lifecycle funding financial impact statement to the Office of State Planning and Budgeting (OSPB), and an annual report on technical debt to the Joint Budget Committee (JBC) and Joint Technology Committee (JTC).
