MAF 2016 to 2017 information management and information technology management methodology

Table of contents

Methodology overview

The Information Management and Information Technology (IM/IT) combined Area of Management: 

  • Reflects that information and technology jointly enable program and service delivery and support decision-making;
  • Acknowledges current alignment of these functions in departments (two thirds of departments combine the role of Chief Information Officer (CIO) with the Information Management Senior Officer (IMSO)); and
  • Recognizes the shift towards a government-wide approach for data, information, and technology to deliver on priorities.

The MAF will provide Deputy Heads and TBS with an organizational and government-wide view of Information and Technology, allowing for the identification and sharing of leading practices.

Objectives: 

  • Provide an organizational and government-wide view of the state of Information Management (IM) and Information Technology (IT) Management.
  • Ensure appropriate stewardship of information and technology resources across the Government of Canada (GC).
  • Facilitate alignment of information and technology resources to GC programs and services
  • Assess progress against GC enterprise priority milestones.
  • Enable departments to strengthen IM/IT management capabilities.
  • Establish services performance measures
  • Identify and share leading practices to strengthen functional communities and promote continuous improvement.

Note: 

  • Sources of evidence submitted for the MAF process must be uploaded to the MAF Portal. Evidence cannot be submitted via email to TBS.
  • Sources of evidence submitted for the MAF process must be final. Draft documentation will not be accepted by TBS.

Corporate Repository
A designated corporate repository is one that is available to all employees and in which information resources of business value (IRBV) are captured, preserved, and managed throughout the entire lifecycle (e.g. RDIMS, GCDOCS). SharePoint is a collaboration tool, not a corporate repository. See : Guidance on Information Management: Repositories
Unstructured Information
Digital information that is often created in free-form text using common desktop applications such as e-mail, word-processing, or presentation applications.
A “mission critical application
A business application that is, or supports, a critical service. A “critical service” is a service whose compromise in terms of availability or integrity would result in a high degree of injury to the health, safety, security or economic well-being of Canadians, or to the effective functioning of the government.

Workplace Technology Devices (WTD)
Includes end-user devices such as personal computers, laptops and tablets and printing products such as printers and scanners. It also includes software for the operation and support of devices, connectivity, office productivity suite and security, to provide the basic functionality needed by users.
Mean time to resolve (MTTR)

A service level metric for desktop support that measures the elapsed time from when an incident is reported until the incident is resolved, business hours and not clock hours.

References: ITIL KPIs Incident Management; Mean Time to Resolve

First level (first-line) support
is the first level in a hierarchy of support groups involved in the resolution of incidents. Each level contains more specialist skills, or has more time or other resources. First level is the central point of contact for all IT issues.
