CON-IT
Abstract
Initiated in FY17 and continuing in FY18 CON-IT's agile development execution is resulting in delivery of contracting capability to operational contracting officers (COs). CON-IT system capabilities continue to be developed and enhanced through completion of development sprint cycles in accordance with our agile software development strategy. Furthermore, the CON-IT Integrated Program Office (IPO) has established early user engagement through a series of SME Familiarization (FAM) Events, in which system capabilities produced from each sprint cycle are tested by operational COs and valuable user feedback is collected and incorporated into our requirements backlog. Early Operational Capability (EOC) was achieved in Oct 17 with the deployment of current CON-IT capabilities to 12AF (AFSOUTH) users in which the users were successfully able to execute contracting actions and produce procurement instruments in support of SOUTHCOM/AFSOUTH mission requirements. In addition, the CON-IT IPO has integrated the AETC Contracting Schoolhouses into our training activities; provided initial training to the instructors; ensured the schoolhouses develop and incorporate CON-IT into their training curriculum for new CO accessions. The successfulness of these events greatly aids in our risk reduction and organizational change management (OCM) efforts. Future system development continues to be planned through an iterative process of sprint/release planning and backlog grooming activities between all our stakeholder partners which ensures that the capabilities developed meet our end users' needs and increase mission success.
