From the report: “The Acquisition Innovation Research Center (AIRC) conducted three (3) workshops exploring how acquisition and sustainment functional areas can be transformed, starting with improved structuring, access, and use of data and representations of the systems being acquired and sustained. This work is in support of accelerating the Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) pursuit of a digitally enabled workforce in order to help win the Great Power Competition and speed acquisition.

Functional representatives met to discuss current data needs (via user stories) and how their functions and associated data would be transformed and improved in a digital acquisition and sustainment environment. Example benefits include flexibility and transparency thru modeling and linking data to drive decision interoperability across functional domains.

Our next step is to identify a new pilot associated with the workshop’s user stories to demonstrate an acquisition improvement opportunity.”
