A study on program management conducted by PMI reported that over a third of the initiatives launched by U.S. government agencies do not meet their target goals causing billions of taxpayer dollars to be mismanaged and, subsequently, wasted annually. Therefore, a well-executed program management practices would greatly increase the success rates of these initiatives.
In 2016, President Obama signed the Program Management Improvement and Accountability Act (PMIAA) into law. The act aims to raise the efficiency of federal-level initiatives by tapping into the program management experience of the private sector. The legislation was supported and informed by the Project Management Institute.
PMIAA sets several requirements for many federal agencies, including appointing a program management improvement officer who focuses on management positions and program management policies. The act also expands the career options for program managers at the federal level.
