QGEA Planning and investment requirements
Planning and investment guidance helps to show how information and communication technology (ICT) investments align to agency strategic and whole-of-government priorities. This guidance supports a consistent approach to digital investment planning.
The Queensland Government Enterprise Architecture (QGEA) provides a list of policies that assist aligning agencies’ ICT services to the Queensland Government’s objectives.
As digital leaders, we can improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and safety of our agency’s ICT services by following QGEA policy requirements.
