Agencies must now demonstrate not only operational necessity but also compliance alignment, resource prudence, and oversight transparency. Legacy IT demand frameworks are insufficient when operating under real-time accountability expectations. Without a structured governance model, teams risk delays, audit findings, or reputational exposure, even when intentions are sound.
