Despite the urgency and ambition of its digital strategy, the Department does not yet have a delivery plan to measure and track progress. The Department’s digital strategy sets out how it wants to share and exploit data effectively for information advantage and develop a skilled and empowered digital function by 2025. It will be difficult for the Department to achieve this given the scale of activity across more than 90 digital projects in its portfolio, its large legacy IT estate, and wide- ranging specialist skills shortages. The National Audit Office (NAO) report that the Department’s digital strategy is consistent with good practice, but that it lacks a complete delivery plan to measure its progress. Although the Department has plans in place for individual projects, it accepts that it needs to bring these plans together to show how they add up to the outcomes the Department wants. The Department is now working on a delivery plan that does this, which it intends to publish in April
