About Technology Business Management

This course covers the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) mandate requiring the adoption of Technology Business Management (TBM) across the Federal Government.

Completing this course will enable you to leverage authoritative data with automation and move away from the manual, time-consuming self-reporting that currently burdens federal agencies.
