Learn first hand about the many new changes just announced to CPIC!

In May of 2017, OMB introduced a new model for the Administration's pulse check on investment health and performance - compliance with Technology Business Management (TBM). As the new Administration makes it's mark on the Federal IT modernization and performance criteria for the federal government, TBM provides a newer framework and methodology for cost accounting in IT Cost Towers. This amends cost structures that report based upon operations, maintenance, development, modernization and enhancements.

 

TBM reporting began in 2017 for Fiscal Year 2019, and shall continue into 2020 and 2021. Prior reporting and CPIC efforts DID NOT INCLUDE this mandate and there have been many reporting changes with the Administration's first reporting cycle with many more expected to come.

 

The Introduction to CPIC and a Review of the Exhibit 300s / Annual IT Management and Budget Report (AITBMR) course & seminar introduces the changes to the process and introduces the new business case report criteria. It delves into the monthly reporting requirements which now accompany the annual budget justification and submittal and the tools like OMB max system, Folio ( next generation e-CPIC), and the Federal IT Acquision Reform Act (FITARA) as well. There are 1, 2, 3 and 4 day versions of this course - this class is the 4 day boot camp / pre-certifiation course for those practitioners who have responsibilties related to timely reporting and compliance of business cases and the affiliated processes and practices such as: Governance, portfolio management, investment management, project management, capital planning, budgeting, etc.

 

The Introduction to CPIC and a Review of the Exhibit 300s seminar will teach you the key tenets behind OMB Circulars and the GAO's Information Technology Guide as requiring the use of CPIC. During this lecture-based and discussion-enriching seminar you will discuss which types of projects are defined as "Major" investments and how the new Administration has changed the way we are gathering, measuring, reporting and monitoring performance via the "IT Dashboard".

 

We will discuss the requirements and compliance issues surrounding the laws driving and enabling Capital Planning, investment control, performance-based contracting, enterprise architecture and portfolio management. You will learn the importance of establishing and reporting credible cost, schedule and performance data for reporting within the context of demonstrating performance in the Exhibit 300/ Business Case.

 

Throughout the seminar, we will discuss the common compliance challenges for contractor-led work versus government-led work, which CPIC and Exhibit 300 efforts may be appropriately designated for contractor support versus "inherently governmental" roles, and how tools may support or enhance your CPIC efforts. The four day agenda is available on the cpicforum.org website.

 

This 4-day seminar is facilitated by a Capital Planning Professional Certified Instructor. (CPP-I). This course counts towards Federal Acquisition Certification (FAC) electives, the Capital Planning Professional Certification (CPP) application and/ or electives, as well as can be self-reported with the attendance certificate for other professional, project and program management certification continuing education requirements. It represents sixteen (32) Continuous Learning Points (CLPs).
