GAO recommendations for oversight of state information technology projects by CMS

1. Clearly communicate to all state marketplace officials and stakeholders the responsibilities of CMS officials involved in overseeing state marketplaces in a comprehensive communication management plan
2. Ensure that all CMS senior executives from IT and business units who are involved in the establishment of state marketplace IT projects review and approve funding decisions for these projects
3. Ensure that states have completed all testing of marketplace system functions prior to releasing them into operation
