Abstract

The Department of the Navy has not managed its NTCSS program in accordance with key aspects of the departments policies and relatedguidance, including federal and recognized best practice guidance. Collectively, these policies and guidance are intended to reasonably ensurethat investment in a given IT system represents the right solution to fill a mission need and, if it is, that acquisition and deployment of the system are handled in a manner that maximizes the chances of delivering defined system capabilities on time and within budget. In the case of NTCSS, neither of these outcomes is being realized.
