Purpose and objectives

Purpose

The Digital Investment Governance Framework (DIGF) provides:

• principles to follow when making a digital investment
• digital direction guidance e.g., strategies and policies to be aligned to/taken into account
• steps to take when making a digital investment
• assurance alignment and framework governance that applies to the DIGF.

The DIGF has been drafted to enable readers to consume the information in the order appropriate for them. Further information about this can be found in the Frequently asked questions.

The DIGF does not replace existing agency governance processes. The intent of the DIGF is to support agency processes while also taking a whole‑of‑government portfolio lens. Queensland Government Customer and Digital Group (QGCDG) will work directly with agencies where alternative, mature investment assessment and governance oversight is applied.

Objectives

The objective of the DIGF is to support delivery of Queensland Government priorities (Good Jobs, Better Services, Great Lifestyle) by providing a primary governing structure for Queensland Government digital investments that ensures:

• The Right Solution: fit for purpose, future focused, digitally safe
• The Right Way: efficiently delivered, risk minimised
• The Right Amount: return on investment maximised
• The Right Time: investment benefits realised.
