Abstract

The Guide to the Business Capability Lifecycle (BCL) for DoD (Acquisition Category (ACAT) III Programs provides a consistent approach for user engagement with the BCL. The scope of the guide encompasses the complete lifecycle of a business capability. It focuses heavily on the acquisition-related portions and the content of the business case and the investment review process. This includes the roles and responsibilities of an ACAT III program manager involved throughout the process, the phases of BCL acquisition, and the information requirements across those phases. The guide is intended for DoD component personnel responsible for, accountable for, contributing to, or supporting the development of ACAT III defense business systems. The goal of the guide is to help the ACAT III program manager understand BCL's purpose, intent, and outcomes through each of its phases.
