Government Software Development Projects by Year and System

Project records detail software developments managed by a public entity, organized by year and associated with addressed technological requirements. The dataset includes information such as requesting department, project description, and involved information system. It is published by www.datos.gov.co to promote transparency and was last updated in January 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze the distribution of software project 'Tipo de proyecto' (project type) by 'Dependencia Solicitante' (requesting department) to identify departmental IT needs.
• Track the evolution of 'Sistema de información' (information system) enhancements over 'Año' (year) to map institutional digital transformation.
• Link project 'Descripción del proyecto' (project description) to its 'Codigo requerimiento' (requirement code) for auditing and requirement traceability studies.
• Profile the frequency of software developments per 'Año' (year) to assess public IT investment cycles.

Strengths

• Data is structured with 6 distinct columns for project analysis.
• Includes temporal dimension via the 'Año' (year) column for time-series examination.
• Published by a government open data portal (www.datos.gov.co) for institutional transparency.

Limitations

• Sample size and total row count are unknown, limiting assessment of statistical significance.
• Data completeness, accuracy, and potential for missing values in key columns like 'Codigo requerimiento' are unverified.
• Geographic and organizational scope is implied but not explicitly stated, potentially limiting generalizability.
