Listen "5 Essential Questions for Implementing the Software Acquisition Pathway and the Tools to Tackle Them"
Episode Synopsis
The SEI contributed its expertise to the development of the Software Acquisition Pathway (SWP), which the Department of Defense (DoD) issued in 2020 as DoD Instruction 5000.87. Since the SWP's issuance, SEI researchers have collaborated with DoD program teams and policy owners to effectively implement the pathway in different program contexts, identify barriers and challenges, and monitor outcomes. Throughout that work, we've identified common questions and stumbling blocks that programs encounter as they adopt the SWP. Answering these questions often warrants additional tools and resources that enable programs to position their SWP programs for success. With that in mind, the SEI announces the launch of the Software Acquisition Go Bag. Our SEI team has helped hundreds of DoD programs deliver software-enabled capability through our unique integration of data-driven insights, software engineering research, and acquisition science. We're "packing" that experience into Go Bag kits so program teams can implement proven practices.
