IT Dashboard: Selected Agencies' Investment Ratings Fail to Fully Consider Risks , October 7 , 2026
From the report: "The federal government spends over $100 billion annually on IT investments. The Federal IT Dashboard is a public website that provides information about these investments, including risk ratings—e.g., how likely it is that the investment will accomplish its goals.
We reviewed some of the investments on this dashboard and found that their risk ratings weren't always accurate. This is due, in part, to agencies not regularly updating these ratings.
Without timely and accurate ratings, high-risk IT investments may not receive proper oversight, leaving the government vulnerable to costly project failures."
