Acquisition and Outsourcing Working Group

Collaborations

The Acquisition working group spun off of the initial CBK efforts conducted by the Workforce Education and Training Working Group. We have had meetings with the Measurement Working Group, and they have enhanced the acquisition guide to include security measures. We have had the Software Engineering Institute speak to us about their CMMI Acquisition constellation and how we could leverage that acquisition life cycle. We have also met with NDIA to discuss their approach to systems assurance and determine how we could synch up our efforts.

Joe Jarzombek and Stan Wisseman have presented tutorials to the Defense Acquisition University. Through collaboration with the National Defense University (NDU), NDU Press is publishing the Software Assurance in Acquisition: Mitigating Risks to the Enterprise document for the working group.
