Government of Canada Internet Guide,

Getting Started

This section gives you a basis for planning your Web initiative.

When starting a Web initiative, use the Enhanced Management Framework (EMF) as a primary resource for relevant principles, best practices, methodologies, tools, templates, handbooks, guides and standards. Examine this "Getting Started" section of the Internet Guide, along with the EMF information, when creating a comprehensive plan.

The Treasury Board has approved the EMF, which you should apply to all projects with a significant information management or technology component.

The EMF is designed to ensure that government information technology projects fully meet the needs of the business functions they are intended to support, that they deliver all expected benefits, and that they are completed on time and on budget.

The EMF provides solutions to project management concerns experienced in the federal government. You can learn about these solutions on the Enhanced Management Framework Web site.

The "Getting Started" section has eight parts:

Government On-line (GOL)
Examining GOL key speeches, principles, targets and strategy, and related resources
