Do. DI 5000. 75 Change 2 • WHY: – To respond to the needs of the user community, who acknowledged certain challenges implementing the policy in their organizations – To address gaps in the existing policy and areas that could be strengthened and clarified – To recognize continuous process improvement, agility, and lessons learned as well as rapidly evolving acquisition practices for software / IT, and the need for simple administrative updates • WHEN/HOW: – April 2018 – present – Collaborative working group sessions with relevant functional, acquisition, and chief management officer stakeholders – Working group sessions led by OUSD(A&S) in partnership with OCMO and Do. D CIO • WHAT DID WE ENHANCE: – More flexibility to tailor governance processes and to delegate down to the lowest level possible – Incremental CCA compliance – Pushing more collaboration between key stakeholders early on – More focus on the “sustainment” portion of the lifecycle – or capability support – and how to responsibly manage and govern IT for the long-term without having to necessarily re-start the process again 2
