A report which gave examples of how Audit Scotland’s Principles for a Digital Future were already applied in Council ICT projects was before the Committee for noting. The Principles for a Digital Future report highlighted difficulties in managing large complex digital transformation programmes and set out principles for programme and project management that should be considered when embarking on transformation projects.
Decision
The Policy and Resources Committee noted the content of the report which gave reassurance that the Council’s approach to Project Management and Digital Transformation was very much in line with the approach recommended by Audit Scotland.
