The accuracy of this census depends in part on the proper functioning of 10 interrelated information systems, one of which is the Bureau's headquarters (HQ) processing system. The HQ processing system consists of 48 applications, all developed internally by the Bureau, that support a variety of census operations such as updating address files, creating a file of census responses, and preparing data for tabulation and dissemination. GAO found that the Bureau lacks effective, mature software and system development processes to control development of its HQ processing system applications. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-1/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-1.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-1/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-1.pdf GAO-01-1 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-1 Other Written Product GAO-01-1; 2000 Census: Headquarters Processing System Status and Risks; Census Information resources management Computer software verification and validation Strategic information systems planning Computer software Information systems 2000 Decennial Census Software Capability Maturity Model
