MAF 2017 to 2018 information management and information technology management methodology

From: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

Methodology Overview

The Information Management and Information Technology Area of Management (IM/IT AoM) is the key Government of Canada (GC) assessment tool to support oversight of the management of GC IM & IT. The IM/IT functions support and enable common GC outcomes; with the growing focus on Open and Digital, IM and IT are increasingly interconnected.

At a high level, this integration:

  • Demonstrates 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 overall objectives of the IM/IT 2017-18 MAF methodology are to:

  • Measure demonstrated activity aligned with government priorities, including mature data management and enabling a single digital policy;
  • Promote the  increasing alignment of IM/IT projects with business outcomes (IM/IT as a means rather than an end);
  • Foster cross-government collaboration to strengthen functional communities and promote continuous improvement; and,
  • Encourage innovation in the use of IM to support business decisions, and in the use of IT to support new ways of enabling information reuse.

The outcome statements and the rationale for the indicators are included as part of the MAF questionnaire.

The 2017-18 MAF results will provide the following to the three key audiences listed below:

Deputy Heads:

  • Indicate the overall maturity of key IM/IT activities, within departments and across the GC;
  • Report on effective stewardship of information, data and technical infrastructure;
  • Demonstrate the extent of integration of IM/IT with business functions within departments; and
  • Assess the level of departmental alignment with overall government priorities.

Functional Communities:

  • Provide opportunities to strengthen management capabilities and support Enterprise Transformation activities;
  • Encourage greater alignment with evolving government-wide priorities;
  • Highlight leading practices that strengthen functional communities and promote continuous improvement; and
  • Help redefine the role of IM/IT to work more holistically in service of business requirements.

TBS:

  • Provide information to assess departmental IM/IT maturity;
  • Give an overview of assets owned and managed across government (including datasets, applications);
  • Identify the state of IM/IT practices and performance across government, including systemic issues and challenges;
  • Provide additional contextual information used for analysis and reporting; and
  • Provide information related to Shared Services Canada.

The methodology was developed in consultation with the IM\IT community.

Questionnaire

IM Stewardship

Outcome statement: Departments and agencies develop and implement strategies and plans to effectively manage information assets to deliver on programs, services and Government of Canada (GC) priority initiatives.

Rationale: To assess the extent to which departments/agencies are adopting enterprise solutions for information lifecycle management.

Indicators and calculation method (where applicable) Expected result Policy reference Evidence source and document limit Category
  1. What percentage of unstructured electronic information resources are maintained in designated corporate repositories (e.g. in an Electronic Documents and Records Management Solution (EDRMS))?

    Calculation Method: The volume in gigabytes (GB) of all designated corporate repositories for unstructured electronic information resources divided by total volume in GB of all repositories for unstructured electronic information resources.

    Rationale: An indicator of the effectiveness of employees to create, retrieve, find and share electronic access to information for all employees of the organization which is linked to reducing duplication of work and improvements in productivity.

    Note: The focus of this question has shifted from past years. We are not looking at holdings in EDRMS/GCDOCS from a recordkeeping perspective, but as an indicator of readiness for Open by Default and support for transparency in the GC.

It is expected that organizations manage a growing amount of their unstructured electronic information resources in designated corporate repositories.

  1. Does the department or agency have a documented governance structure in place for data management?

    • Yes
    • No

    Rationale: Data management is a growing area of importance in IM and in GC programs more broadly. An established governance structure is a key first step to ensuring that organizations have effective data management process in place.

    Note: This question will not be scored by TBS.

Departments with data governance structure will ensure that

data is effectively managed, : protected, and reused.

  1. What percentage of departmental datasets available on open.canada.ca have an openness rating of 3 to 5?

    Rationale: Assessing the usability and share-ability of the datasets, based on technical configuration, provides view into the maturity of departmental data management and potential value for Canadians.

    Calculation Method: Number of departmental datasets rated 3, 4, and 5 divide by total number of departmental datasets as of .

    http://open.canada.ca/en/openness-rating provides a description of the star rating

    Note: The Open Canada Portal rates the quality (as defined by level of openness) of datasets on a scale of 1 – 5 with 1 being data available in any format up to 5, which is the most open, linkable and reusable.

Departments are more mature in their data management/ configuration capabilities and increase capacity of data usage by others.

Useable and shareable data ensures greater potential value, reuse, and transparency.

Datasets will be more useful.

    Rationale:  Departments are expected to respond to questions pertaining to the content they own on open.canada.ca.

Service standards manage expectations for consumers of open.canada.ca content, building trust and positive experiences for portal users.

A requirement for service levels is not codified in the Directive on Open Government, but is a good and important practice.

If yes, the document that supports this statement (in whatever form – plan, deck, etc.) may be shared with all departments via GCtools as a ‘best practice’ to support capacity building.

    Definitions

    Agreed Service Time
    is a synonym for service hours, commonly used in formal calculations of availability. Service hours are an agreed time period when a particular IT service should be available. For example, ’Monday-Friday 08:00 to 17:00 except public holidays’.
    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.
    Downtime
    is the time when an IT service or other configuration item is not available during its agreed service time.
    Mission critical application
    is a business application that is, or supports, a critical service.

Organizations should have a high system availability percentage for mission critical applications to ensure that critical services and programs for Canadians are not interrupted.
