UNCLASSIFIED Dev. Ops Guiding Principles 1. 2. 3. Ensure real-world data (virtualized) is available to Dev. Ops Architect the infrastructure to rapidly integrate all relevant data sets (virtualize the data) Develop/utilize Air Force software coders/designers/engineers • 4. Ensure trained C 2 Cadre are “side-by-side” teaming with software developers • 5. 6. 7. 8. Web-based applications to facilitate frequent over-the-air upgrades to all users Deliver Minimal Viable Products to C 2 operators at speed of need • 12. When coding is complete, so is testing (field ready) Ensure Dev. Ops products are extensible/scalable to C 2 Enterprise • 11. Broad base of app developers due to published IT standards and integration reqmnts Utilize ‘Design To Test’ methods employed for rapid fielding • 10. Dev. Ops environment enables direct, on-site collaboration Leverage Open Architecture and Code Publish IT, data, interface and messaging standards for easy integration of new capability Employ “App. Store” model for mission application delivery Establish/Maintain low entry threshold for commercial software innovation • 9. Eliminate stovepiped proprietary systems, leverage COTS with gov’t mods NO delivery to requirements, quick useable product to be “fixed” with field feedback Employ commercial best practices for Info Assurance UNCLASSIFIED Breaking Barriers … Since 1947 15
