Join us for a roundtable discussion with Ms. Margaret Boatner, DASA (SAR) regarding the Army's recent Software Modernization Policy.  As announced on March 9, the policy aims to institutionalize modern software development approaches across the Army in line with industry best practices. Efforts include changing the way requirements for software systems are written, the types of acquisition strategies and buying models employed, how the Army writes its requests for proposals and contracts with vendors, test and evaluation activities, as well as cost estimates for agile software solutions. Finally, as talent is a key driver for success, the policy also includes several initiatives focused on developing the talent and expertise needed to execute modern software development.
