“Tremendous Change” For Colorado’s IT Department
The Colorado Office of Information Technology announced a sweeping reorganization, dissolving its technology, data, and chief operating officer offices. The agency consolidated its workforce into two core groups—Digital and Delivery, and Security and Infrastructure. The Digital and Delivery team will operate under a product‑centric, agile model, emphasizing cross‑functional squads, user‑centered design, and outcome‑based metrics rather than traditional scope, schedule and budget constraints. Leadership described the change as “tremendous,” noting that the previous shared‑service structure “wasn’t delivering what agencies need” and created “organizational friction” that slowed progress. By streamlining governance and focusing on agency missions, Colorado hopes to accelerate digital service delivery, improve security posture, and generate cost efficiencies, setting a precedent for state IT modernization.
