The DOE IT Strategic Roadmap project is an example of this and is a collaborative process that the Department used in an agency-wide initiative to seek out the best ideas from DOE employees on the way forward for IT at DOE. It is especially notable for its use of Crowdsourcing to collect requirements. The DOE IT Roadmap team conducted a pilot deployment of a Crowdsourcing solution using cloud-based vendor UserVoice, with the goal of engaging the Department in identifying opportunities to transform its use of technology to support the DOE mission. The initiative was open to all DOE federal and contractor staff, across headquarters, laboratories, field, plant, program and staff offices. The Crowdsourcing initiative identified collaborative tools as a major opportunity for IT to support DOE’s mission. Several major collaboration initiatives have been started and implemented. A sampling is listed in Table 3 below.
