SCDOT Enterprise Technology & AI Strategic Roadmap

Demonstration — Illustrative data — Prepared by Concourse Tech

Feature 05 · From Strategy to Motion

Year 1 Execution Blueprint

A quarter-by-quarter plan for the first twelve months: what gets built, which governance structures activate, what gets procured and through which vehicle, and the exit criteria that gate each quarter. This is the page a program office actually runs from.

Quarter 1 Workstreams · Foundations & Governance Activation

  • 1

    Kick off application portfolio rationalization (OE-1) — inventory and scoring workshops in all divisions

  • 2

    Charter the Data Governance Council; appoint executive sponsor and domain stewards (DD-1)

  • 3

    Draft agency AI policy and risk-tiering rubric; socialize with Chief Counsel and districts (AI-1)

  • 4

    Complete phishing-resistant MFA rollout to remaining staff cohorts (CY-1)

  • 5

    Baseline the KPI framework: agree definitions, sources, and owners for all 12 measures

Exit criteria — gate to Q2

AI policy adopted; Review Board seated
Application inventory 60%+ complete
KPI baseline published internally

Governance Activation

  • AI policy to Commission for adoption
  • AI Review Board membership named (engineering, legal, IT, 2 district engineers)
  • Data Council charter signed; monthly cadence begins

Procurement Actions

  • Issue RFQ for portfolio rationalization support under state IT professional services
  • Begin cloud lakehouse market research; evaluate NASPO ValuePoint cloud agreements vs. state term contracts

Vehicles referenced: state IT professional services, NASPO ValuePoint, software term contracts, and IDIQ engineering services — validated with SCDOT Procurement in discovery.

The roadmap stays alive after Q4.

Quarter 4 closes with a re-scored portfolio and an approved Year 2 plan — this tracker updates in place. No binder on a shelf; the deliverable is the system you are using right now.
