A New Performance Zone for Software for National Security

Software Engineering Institute (SEI) Webcast Series

Today, we have seen our national security 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 newly mandated Software Acquisition Pathway helps to align those tempos. However, to sustain a competitive advantage through software, we need to see our defense organizations recall and reapply disciplined engineering practices.

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
