CMS is now operating under the Target Life Cycle (TLC) IT Governance
Framework
 
The TLC brings together Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and decision-
makers from across CMS to strategically manage our IT Portfolio.
 
In order for these SMEs to evaluate new IT projects properly, we may
require you to complete a Business Case outlining your proposal.

When do I need one?
New IT development or major changes to existing systems usually
require a Business Case – confirmed by CMS IT Governance upon
receiving your intake form in the “Initiate” phase of the TLC.
 
How is it used?
The Business Case allows the Governance Review Team (GRT) and
Governance Review Board (GRB) to evaluate, advise, and ultimately
approve or deny your project.

This is where you identify options and alternatives to meet your
business need.  Your team must exercise due diligence in determining
the most viable and cost effective solution.
 
This includes a summary of the approaches, how you will acquire the
solution, and describe the pros, cons, total life cycle costs and
potential cost savings/avoidance for each alternative considered.

Some examples of alternatives to consider may include:
Buy vs. build vs. lease vs. reuse of existing system
Commercial off the shelf (COTS) vs. Government off the shelf (GOTS)
Mainframe vs. server-based vs. clustering vs. Cloud
 
In your alternatives, include details such as differences between
system capabilities, user friendliness, technical and security
considerations, ease and timing of integration with CMS' IT
infrastructure, etc.

How much to develop/initialize the product or service?
AND how long to operate after development is complete – how long until
we have to replace? (a 5 year total life cycle is typical)
Note: these estimates will likely evolve as you refine your Business Case
throughout the intake process – no worries.
 
Your Life Cycle Cost projections are one of the most important factors that
the Board considers when making a determination on your project.
 
The IT Investment Management team can assist with your cost estimates if
needed

IT Governance at CMS involves the Target Life Cycle (TLC) framework that requires completion of a Business Case for new IT projects. The Business Case outlines the business need, benefits to CMS, alignment with organizational priorities, performance measurement, and proposed alternatives to meet the identified need. It plays a crucial role in evaluation, advice, and approval processes for IT projects within CMS.
