Discussion: Enabling and Institutionalizing Software Acquisition Transformation

Abstract

The pace of innovation will continue to grow. The ubiquity of software and its critical role require fundamental shifts in software engineering and acquisition to maintain DoDs competitive advantage. Adaptive capacity of the acquisition ecosystem is critical to enabling the DoD to rapidly deploy innovation with confidence within this shifting landscape. Institutionalizing changes in the acquisition ecosystem to prioritize speed, user engagement, and flexibility will require capitalization on data and a variety of communication and implementation support mechanisms and a lot of collaboration.
