OMB Guidance regarding Contracting for Modular Development — Why You Should Attend this Training:

Learn How to Comply with OMB Guidance using EVM for Modular (AGILE) Systems Development

General Guidance

• Modular approach to define high level requirements, prioritize requirements, refinement, and continual engagement of stakeholders and collection of feedback
• Investment Business Case establishes an estimated cost, schedule, performance baseline and achieve on average 90% of these goals

• Investment divided into stand alone projects of 6 months or less in duration which deliver functional systems
• Projects may be completed sequentially or in parallel. Subsequent projects may add incremental functionality or integration

• Integrated Program Team (IPT) — In order for OMB to approve the investment budget, an IPT must include at a minimum: a qualified, fully dedicated IT program manager; a contracting specialist, if applicable; an IT specialist; an IT security specialist; and a business process owner or subject matter expert (SME).
• Balance the Governments need for fast access to rapidly changing technology and incentivized Contractor performance with stability in program management, contract performance, and risk management
• Should enable a modular approach to incremental delivery, implementation, and testing of an investment
• Single procurements or multiple procurements

OMB

Federal IT programs must be structured to deploy working business functionality in release cycles no longer than 12 months, and, ideally, less than six months, with initial deployment to end users no later than 18 months after the program begins.

DOD — National Defense Authorization Act

Section 804 — Deliver early and often aimed at changing the culture to embrace speed and responsiveness by deploying capabilities every 12-18 months.

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 25 Point Plan for IT Management Reform requires the use of a Modular Development Methodology and many Agencies are deploying an Agile Project Management methodology. This workshop is designed to help your organization answer these questions:

• How do I ensure I dont burden my Agile development team with unnecessary project scheduling, schedule statuses, change management, and reporting?
• How do I realize the significant benefits of a Modular Development (Agile Project Management) process while still complying with OMB, Agency, or Program reporting requirements?
• How do I manage the total project and not just the work managed using an Agile development methodology?
• How do I track costs and forecast my cost at completion?
