The study also included how well chief information officer\u2019s were doing with regard to certifying incremental development policies <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIncremental development\u201d \u2015 a form of agile development \u2015 in this context <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agilealliance.org\/glossary\/incremental-development\/#q=~(filters~(postType~(~'page~'post~'aa_book~'aa_event_session~'aa_experience_report~'aa_glossary~'aa_research_paper~'aa_video)~tags~(~'incremental*20development))~searchTerm~'~sort~false~sortDirection~'asc~page~1)\" title=\"\" class=\"\">refers<\/a> to the strategy that each successive IT software builds upon the previous version with the addition of user-visible functionality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Federal agencies reported that their CIOs had certified 62 percent of major information technology software development investments as adequately using incremental development for fiscal 2017, as required by the Federal IT Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA). However, thanks to agency error, some of those responses were incorrectly reported. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Twenty-one of 24 agencies under GAO review found that a number of elements hindered their ability to fulfill their IT development mission. These included inefficient governance processes, procurement delays and organizational changes associated with the transitions in software development methodology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, only four of the reviewed agencies had clearly defined policies for incremental development in IT investment. Eleven had threadbare policies with no details as to their process and nine had no policies whatsoever. The Office of Management and Budget\u2019s fiscal 2018 capital planning guidance also did not establish how agency CIOs will specifically showcase compliance with FITARA\u2019s incremental provisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The GAO\u2019s intent in conducting this review was to ensure that as few governmentwide IT management issues occurred as possible.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GAO made 19 recommendations to 17 agencies, three of which were about accuracy improvement and 16 focusing on the need to update or establish certification policies.
