This bill mandates that State agencies in New Jersey submit specific documentation for information technology projects that exceed $2.5 million in value. Agencies are required to provide a written business case that includes a description of the business need, project budget, operational impact estimates, available options, anticipated benefits, risk analysis, and an assessment of necessary business process improvements and change management. This business case must be submitted to the New Jersey Office of Information Technology at least 30 days before any request for State funds or procurement documents are issued. Additionally, the Office of Information Technology, in collaboration with other divisions, will report findings and recommendations to the Office of Management and Budget.

Furthermore, the bill requires State agencies to develop and submit a change management plan for projects that meet certain criteria, including those that involve multiple agencies or significantly alter existing service delivery processes. The change management plan must encompass a stakeholder analysis, project impact assessment, examination of related projects, change risk assessment, and a comprehensive communication and training strategy. Agencies are encouraged to seek best practices from external experts when developing these plans. All documentation, including the change management plans, must be submitted to relevant state offices to ensure thorough oversight and effective implementation of technology projects.
