1 An Accelerated Approach to Business Capability Acquisition for the Montgomery IT Summit Presented by: Mr. Paul Ketrick May 19, 2009

2 2 IT Acquisition Issues Main issue observed that DoD software programs lacked wellthought-out, disciplined program management and/or software development processes. Report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on Defense Software; Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology; November 2000 DoD acquisition procedures cited as part of a systemic problem affecting the on-time and on-cost delivery of solutions to the warfighter. Naval Research Advisory Committee Report on Software-Intensive Systems; Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research, Development, and Acquisition); July 2006 Some problems with DoD acquisition process lie in cost/schedule/ performance problems in Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAPs), unacceptable outcomes of costreimbursement contracts, poor interagency and services contracting practices, and an insufficient defense acquisition workforce. CRS Report for Congress on Defense Acquisition: Overview, Issues, and Options for Congress; CRS Report authored by Steven Howard Chadwick, Analyst in Defense Acquisition, Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division, updated September 20, 2007

3 3 Contributing Factors Fragmented oversight Relevant information not available to decision makers Too much focus on systems vs non-materiel aspects Transitioning from problem to solution too quickly Weak sponsorship -- Program Managers spent too much time justifying vs managing their programs A New Approach for Business IT was Needed

4 4 Business Capability Lifecycle Gap, Problem, Strategic Question Annual Reviews, Acquisition Decisions Continue to Execute Program or END Guidance, Assumptions Priorities Validate Business Case, Assess & Business Metrics Lessons Learned Execute Program Conduct Analysis (Process, Metrics Views) Integrated Management Information Environment Program Definition Certification/Acquisition Decision Develop & Validate Outcomes Recommend Solution Package Review and Approve Capabilities Conduct Solution Analysis Execute Policy and Process Changes Validation (Pilot/Prototype)

6 DoD Realized it Needed to Look Beyond Technology for Areas Scope/ Req People Strategy External Rapid Delivery of Capability Tech Process Contract Enterprise Assessment Methodology (ERAM), in collaboration with the program, assists in identifying risks and developing mitigation strategies across seven key areas 6

7 7 Denial is not an Effective Mitigation Plan Just because there s an iceberg on the horizon doesn t mean you re a bad Captain; it s how you deal with it.

8 8 Open Government Directive My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration Executive departments and agencies should harness new technologies and put information about their operations and decisions online and [make them] readily available to the public. I direct the Chief Technology Officer, in coordination with the Director of OMB and the Administrator of General Services, to coordinate within 120 days.. recommendations for an Open Government Directive... that instructs executive departments and agencies to take specific actions implementing the principles set forth in this memorandum. - Barack Obama, January 21,
