Yes! Visibility enables insight and accountability

This is so great to hear. Yes, I agree that many folks will view this as "introducing yet another layer of complexity and bureaucracy", especially those folks who characterize everything government does in this way.

I agree with you and I also "can't fathom how requiring meaningful oversight, accountability, and transparency could possibly make the situation worse than it is today."

I know I am restating the last points made in your post, but they bear repeating. Countless organizations continue to turn a blind eye to the ridiculous level of project failure rates and in most cases it is due to the lack of governance and the associated oversight required to expose this intolerable trend.

My hope is that they can establish the mechanisms to validate and thereby ensure the accuracy of the information for-all-to-see. If ever there was an incentive to "fudge the status", this new level of project performance oversight and scrutiny is it.
