The CIO Council has released a set of digital services governance recommendations as part of a scheduled deliverable timetable under the White House’s digital government strategy.
The Digital Services Advisory Group worked with the CIO Council and Federal Web Managers Council to develop recommendations on how agencies can stand up effective digital services governance structures, and that highlight opportunity areas for agencies to deliver better services at a lower cost.
According to the document – http://www.cio.gov/digital-services-governance-recommendations.pdf – in general the recommended approach to establishing a structure is to break it up into management steps: gather a core team, assess what you have, determine what you want, build or validate a governance structure, share, review and upgrade, then establish and implement.
