Transformation of a Software Development Organization Using Software Acquisition Principles: A Case Study

Abstract

Air Force leadership requested in 2001 that the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) conduct a probe to investigate software quality problems with the newly released Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS). SEI conducted a six week intensive study in 2002 and returned in 2004 for a follow on study. This briefing discusses the findings of those studies, the recommendations and the reorganization that followed.
