​Improving Software Acquisition Outcomes for Senior Officers
A Practical Course in Leading Modern, Maintainable, Mission-Ready Software Programs
Modern missions increasingly depend on adaptable, resilient software systems that can evolve rapidly and perform reliably under mission-critical conditions. However, many acquisition efforts fail—not from lack of effort, but due to outdated processes, misplaced incentives, and overreliance on frameworks that obscure technical risk. This course prepares Defense and Law Enforcement leaders to meet the software challenges of modern operations through outcome-oriented oversight, user-centered development, and sustainable technical strategy.
