Technology Investment Framework
Summary
The Technology Investment Framework explains how ACT Government directorates can plan and fund technology-related projects through the Budget process.
The guidance helps improve project outcomes by:
- supporting early planning and detailed design before funding is approved
- making sure projects align with whole-of-government strategies and existing capabilities
- encouraging collaboration and reuse across directorates to reduce duplication
- helping directorates understand and communicate the full costs and benefits of a project.
The Framework helps government focus on:
- the benefits to the Canberra community and the ACT Public Service
- the likely whole-of-life costs
- whether an initiative offers a chance to invest in a capability needed across government.
