The Technology Modernization Fund (TMF) enables access to multi-year funding, promoting better technology practices by shifting from project to product management in government agencies.
Jennifer Pahlka emphasized that the TMF's purpose has been misunderstood, stating that modernization shouldn't lock users into outdated methods, but enable real transformation in government technology.
'Digital transformation is different from modernization,' Pahlka asserted. 'True transformation means understanding user needs and creating solutions from scratch rather than merely digitizing existing systems.'
The memo advocates for the TMF as a means to enhance government product management, pushing for a shift towards a user-focused approach rather than following rigid plans.
