Description:

On August 24, 2022 USD(A&S) established the business systems sub-pathway, which will eventually be incorporated in the next update to DoDI 5000.87, Operation of the Software Acquisition Pathway.  Discussion will include an overview of the policy memo and dialogue about challenges in the trenches. 

Program Managers should work with the Decision Authority to select the most appropriate pathway(s) for their programs.  Mr. Smith will discuss how formalizing the sub-pathway clarifies how business systems should approach using the software pathway.
