TBM Program in Action
The TBM Program monitors statewide IT spending. Reporting through the TBM program includes the IT Spend Biennial Report and the state IT Portfolio reporting metrics.
TBM Taxonomy
To facilitate communication between IT, Finance and Business areas, a common language or taxonomy is needed. The state program has adopted an industry standard TBM Taxonomy that's governed and maintained by the TBM Council Board Committee on Standards.
