Background -- DOD's requirements processes are not tailored to support all weapon programs using agile -- Existing policies and guidance do not support DOD oversight of non-software pathway weapon programs using Agile -- DOD has not enabled the adoption of modern engineering tools needed for Agile -- Conclusions -- Recommendations for executive action -- Agency comments and our evaluation -- Appendices.
Summary
This report assesses the extent to which DOD has (1) policy and guidance that establish requirements processes to support the use of Agile software development in weapon programs; (2) policy and guidance to provide direction for overseeing Agile software development in weapon programs; and (3) enabled program adoption of modern engineering tools for Agile. GAO is making three recommendations to DOD, including that for all programs using Agile for software development, DOD incorporate Agile principles into policies and guidance used for requirements processes as well as oversight; and that DOD establish an overarching plan--and identify resources--to enable the adoption of modern engineering tools across programs.
