Can the Framework be used if agency project management practices do not exist?
The Framework promotes use of agency project management practices for delivery of projects, especially for delivery of major information resources projects and technology procurement projects that involve certain major contracts (refer to the CPA Contract Management Guide). The extent and formality of these practices may vary from agency to agency. If these industry practices do not exist to some extent, the agency may find it difficult to effectively assess business outcomes during each of the review gates.
