Influencing Software Competencies Across the DoD Acquisition Workforce

Abstract

The growing importance of software in delivering military capabilities to the warfighter increases the need for the DoD to identify and support software-specific competencies for the acquisition workforce. To help address this challenge, the Software Acquisition Training and Education Working Group (SATEWG) is defining competencies for each acquisition career field, and reviewing software acquisition curricula against these competencies. This article provides insight into the problems being addressed, the SATEWG's approach to these challenges, and their accomplishments to date.
