E-Government Project Evaluation Based on the Theory of Life-cycle Management

Abstract

Conducting an e-government project evaluation is an important way to circumvent risks and improve the success rate of the e-government project. At present, China’s egovernment project evaluation mainly focuses on post-evaluation, which is performance evaluation but lacks the life-cycle evaluation, resulting in a high project failure rate and low return on investment. This paper is mainly talking about the construction of e-government projects evaluation based on the life-cycle theory. Dividing e-government projects construction into four stages: project preparation, project bidding, project implementation and project operation and maintenance. Starting from the four core stages of the e-government projects, a new closed-loop evaluation index is put forward to make the egovernment project evaluation more convincing and scientific.
