Software Development
Abstract
We are engaging with our Service Acquisition Executives to collaborate earlier in the acquisition process to ensure requirements are defined with well written entry and exit criteria, testing requirements defined, technical data addressed and risk addressed. DCMA participation earlier in the acquisition life cycle process provides clearer requirements for execution and sustainment, reduces life cycle costs and supports better buying power. Software development continues to be one of the main cost drivers for cost overruns. Our in plant presence allows us to perform oversight and analysis of existing software development to include emerging critical focus areas of agile software and technology processes and leaning forward to address cybersecurity and information assurance concerns. Our independent in-plant insight into contractor processes provides a unique acquisition insight service to our DoD customers to ensure contractor compliance in program development. We see DCMA as a key role in mission assurance surveillance and the surveillance of complex software and network systems to support DoD initiatives. This is integral to better buying power.
