What is a Technology Plan

A technology plan is an overview of the current technology infrastructure and

the use of the technology at your institution.

Steps of a Technology Plan:

  • Why develop a technology plan. Needs assessment 
  •  Mission statement/Introduction  
  • Technology goals and objectives  
  • The technology inventory  
  • Budget planning  
  • The evaluation process 
  • Selection of the appropriate digital/technological needs


Why should you create a technology plan?

A technology plan is more than just deciding what technology to buy and when to

 upgrade it. It is a mechanism for prioritizing and budgeting for the most important

 technology tools for achieving organizational goals. A technology plan helps to

 clarify where opportunities exist to improve infrastructure or deliver services in a

 new way by starting with an organization's mission and priorities.
