Abstract
The speaker concludes that:
- Acquisition-focused maturity models should be supported, adopted, and evolved.
- Mini-assessments based on acquisition-focused maturity models could contribute to significantly enhanced acquisition oversight.
- The effort associated with mini-assessments as an oversight methodology is no greater than and may be less than, the effort associated with document-based oversight.
- Risk-based oversight is possible using the results of mini-assessments as the basis for determining the risk associated with the program office's capability.
