The White House this morning announced much-anticipated contracting reforms that propose changing the budget cycle for information technology projects and developing a path to promotion for IT program managers.
The details of the plan -- announced by Office of Management and Budget Chief Performance Officer Jeff Zients -- are explained in a Nextgov column by Pratap Chatterjee, who is a visiting fellow at the Center for American Progress, a progressive think tank with close ties to the Obama administration.
We'll have more information and perspective on Nextgov later today.
