The
Software Pathway (SWP) enables the DoD to acquire software with modern software
development practices and deliver performance at the speed of relevance in
support of the National Defense Strategy. An Agile ecosystem depends on competent
people, the right tools, and effective processes. Learn about Department efforts on:
-
Enhancing the digital workforce - DoD can position itself as an
employer of choice for digital workforce, enabling the development of
mission-critical software solutions essential for national security.
-
Guiding the use of Application Programming Interfaces - The
Department needs API Governance in multiple areas, to include but not limited
to access, deprecation, documentation, etc.
Collecting API metrics will be beneficial for programs and the
Department as we transform to a more modern approach toward greater
interoperability.
-
Enabling access to modern tools - The rapid pace of Agile
necessitates not only the ability to have access to various modern engineering
tools to enable development, but also the ability to leverage resources
(budget, personnel, training, infrastructure) to enable their adoption.
