Explain the basics of building an IT framework

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

First, a decision-making structure must be created. Agency leadership (chief or sheriff, upper management), users, and technical staff will all rely on this foundation being established. An executive sponsor has ultimate decision-making authority, and below the executive sponsor are several more layers of key people:
• The Steering Committee: Includes captains, lieutenants, high-ranking non-sworn employees
• The Project Manager: Ideally, this is an individual who has project management skills, experience and/or training, dedicated in a full-time manner to the success of the initiative.
• The User Committee: These are subject matter and business process experts for the functions to be addressed.
• The Technical Committee: These people are dedicated technical staff from the agency who are to understand the vision proposed by the Steering Committee and the User Committee's workflow and business needs, to analyze the agency's existing technical environment, and to research and propose solutions to the agency's business needs and problems.
• The Ad Hoc Committee: These are people who, throughout the course of the project, may be convened to focus on particular issues, such as looking at specific tasks and business processes that require more in-depth research or analysis.
