Portfolio Management for US Government Agencies

Agency Challenges “Getting to green” implies that an agency is successfully investing to deliver a higher level

of citizen-centered service performance. While getting to green by complying with Circular

A-11 and Exhibit 300 is the goal of every agency, transforming that goal from concept to

reality can be challenging. A recent Office of Management and Budget (OMB) observation

on Exhibit 300 submissions this year identified that very few agencies met the top criteria

for business cases, which is key to gaining positive funding recommendations.

To help agencies achieve top scores with less effort, Fujitsu Consulting and ProSight, Inc.

have developed a “Playbook for OMB Business Cases.”

Fujitsu Consulting SolutionsThe Fujitsu and ProSight Playbook for OMB Business Cases is based on Fujitsu Consulting

best practices for portfolio management and OMB 300 compliant business case development.

These best practices are combined with industry-leading portfolio management software from

ProSight, Inc. and the ProSight Playbook methodology. The result is a set of pre-configured

templates, an integrated business case methodology, and supporting software tools that will

improve agency processes for:

Internal business case assessment and preparation

OMB 300 and 53 submissions

On-going internal performance tracking and OMB compliance reporting

With a Playbook solution from Fujitsu Consulting and ProSight, your agency will reduce

the effort and improve the odds of getting to green and staying there, budget cycle after

budget cycle.

Additionally, a “short form 300” feature supports the Pre-Selection phase of the Capital Planning and

Investment Control (CPIC) process by capturing only the data necessary to analyze business case

candidates and identifying those that best support the mission and goals of the agency, and that are
