Today, we have seen our national security and defense organizations working to adopt modern software practices, particularly Agile methods and DevSecOps practices, efforts challenged by a mismatch of tempos between operational needs and development processes. The Software Acquisition Pathway helps to align those tempos.

What Attendees Will Learn:

• An assessment of current efforts to adopt modern software practices
• Why and where the pace of adoption faces challenges
• Characteristics of the needed new level of performance
