The paper examines the problems of managing state development programs during the transformation of the economy into an innovative one. A transition from program-target management to program-design management is proposed. This transition is justified by applying the modern theory of economic systems to the entire system of space for the formation and implementation of government programs. Based on this transition, four spirals of development become the basic components of management: objects, processes, environments, and projects. This allows you to formalize management goals and criteria and move on to the construction/development of a decision support system. The work provides the main approach to constructing a platform implementation of management of state development programs.
key words: state development programs, modeling, analytical support, decision support system, platform, monitoring.
