SUMMARY

We identified and described 184 information technology projects completed by state agencies from FY 2004-05 through FY 2005-06, or ongoing at the beginning of FY 2006-07. In April 2007, their costs at completion were expected to total $291.7 million. Case studies of large, high-risk projects identified inadequate planning and oversight that increased costs and compromised time lines. We provided recommendations to improve project planning, monitoring, and oversight.
