The Office of Management and Budget for the first time is requiring agencies to map IT investments to programs that went through the Performance Assessment Ratings Tool process.

The administration this month released fiscal 2006 budget guidance in Circular A-11. While most of the requirements are unchanged since last year, officials said, the IT investment-mapping requirement is new.

The guidance also requires agencies to discuss how their IT portfolio management has enhanced the quality of IT investments, resulting in improved program performance.
