Florida Administrative Code › 60 - DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT SERVICES › 60GG - Florida Digital Service › Chapter 60GG-1 - DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT SERVICES PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT › Section 60GG-1.001 - Purpose and Applicability; Definitions

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Purpose and Applicability.
(a) Rules 60GG-1.001 through 60GG-1.009,
				F.A.C., will be known as the Florida Information Technology Project Management
				and Oversight Standards. These rules include two separate sets of requirements
				- project management standards defined in Rules 60GG-1.001 through 60GG-1.008,
				F.A.C., and Department of Management Services (DMS) project oversight
				requirements defined in Rule 60GG-1.009, F.A.C.
(b) This rule establishes project management
				standards when implementing information technology (IT) projects. State
				Agencies must comply with these standards when implementing all IT projects.
				Cabinet Agencies must comply with these standards when implementing IT projects
				that have a total cost of $25 million or more and that impact one or more other
				agencies (pursuant to Section 282.0051(1)(n)1., F.S.). For all other IT
				projects, Cabinet Agencies are required to either adopt these standards or
				adopt alternative standards based on best practices and industry standards (See
				Section  282.00515, F.S.). These
				standards are documented in Rules 60GG-1.001 through 60GG-1.008, F.A.C.
1. Operations and Maintenance (O&M)
				activities that support an existing product or service to keep it in
				conformance with its originally intended specifications, functionality, and
				service levels are exempt from these standards. O& M activities include:
a. Adaptive Maintenance - the modification of
				a product, performed after delivery, to keep a product usable in a changed or
				changing environment.
b. Corrective
				Maintenance - the reactive modification of a product performed after delivery
				to correct discovered problems.
c.
				Perfective Maintenance - the modification of a product after delivery to detect
				and correct latent faults in the product before they are manifested as
				failures.
d. Preventive Maintenance
				- the modification of a product after delivery to detect and correct latent
				faults in the product before they become operational faults.
The terms above originate from the International Organization
				  for Standardization standard No.: ISO/IEC 14764:2006, which may be found at:
https://www.iso.org/obp/ui#iso:std:iso-iec-ieee:24765:ed-1:v1:en
.
O&M activities include, but are not limited to, break-fix
				  actions, routine software upgrades, and network component
				  replacements.
2.
				These standards, per Section
				 282.0051(1)(c),
				F.S., also address:
a. Performance
				measurements and metrics that objectively reflect the status of an IT project
				based on a defined and documented project schedule, cost, and scope.
b. Methodologies for calculating acceptable
				variances in the projected versus actual schedule, cost, and scope of an IT
				project.
c. Reporting requirements,
				including requirements designed to alert all defined stakeholders that an IT
				project has exceeded acceptable variances.
d. Content, format, and frequency of project
				updates.
3. In 2016, DMS
				will begin conducting annual assessments to determine State Agency compliance
				with the Florida Information Technology Project Management and Oversight
				Standards set forth in Rule 60GG-1.008, F.A.C. (Per Section
				 282.0051(1)(i),
				F.S.)
4. State Agencies, and as
				applicable Cabinet Agencies, will use the Florida Information Technology
				Project Management and Oversight Standards set forth in this rule in
				competitive solicitations and procurement documents or contract agreements for
				IT projects, as appropriate, to provide project management standards for
				potential vendors.
(c)
				This rule establishes oversight standards that the Department of Management
				Services (DMS) will use for oversight of IT projects. These standards apply to
				IT projects of State Agencies that have a total cost of $10 million or more and
				that are funded in the General Appropriations Act or any other law; and IT
				projects of Cabinet Agencies with a total cost of $25 million or more and that
				impact one or more other agencies. (Per Sections 282.0051(1)(d), and
				282.0051(1)(n)1., 2., F.S.). These standards are documented in Rule 60GG-1.009,
				F.A.C.
