Your Boss Loves Dashboards! ACART automates project compliance management


The Business Transformation Agency provides a web tool to tailor and manage architecture compliance relevant to your project. A 60 minute tutorial can be found at:https://acart.bta.mil/ Additional support: http://www.acartcompliance.com/


Dr. Elliot Chikofsky presented this resource to Falls Church Project Management Professionals (PMP). The web tool is a project that can assist a project manager in identifying and tracking the compliance to the myriad of regulations and compliance. Additionally, Dr. Chikofsky's delivery was terrific with an analogy of project architecture documentation (like DoDAF) to a building's blueprints. Although it may never be referenced once the project is complete, it is reassuring to everyone that the project was built to standards.
Dr. Chikofsky's bio.


Once we have created an ACART account and setup our project, it is easy to build graphical and detailed exception reports and a Requirements Traceability Matrix that aid in managing the scope of standards and compliance to apply to a given project.

ACART is a net-centric, compliance and management decision support tool that EM&I developed which helps key stakeholders to scope, assess and assert architecture enterprise requirements compliance as well as architectures, laws, regulations, policies, guidelines and checklists. Although ACART is used to streamline compliance, it is a highly-customizable platform that is also used for comparing systems and requirements and enabling more effective IT investment decisions. Bottomline: ACART assists agencies in determining the "best IT bang for the buck."
