 Surprise! The US Military Gets Creative & Agile

Location: Westborough DoubleTree Hotel

Time: 6:00pm - 8:10pm

PDUs: 1 Technical; .5 Leadership

From “Pitch Days” to Agile, the United States military is embracing modern methods to uncover new technology and manage a wide variety of programs.

In New York City, on March 6-7, 2019, the United States Air Force (USAF) awarded 51 initial phase one contracts, immediately delivering $3.5 million with the swipe of a government credit card, with another $5.25 million to be delivered later! And once the contracts are awarded, the US military is using the latest program management concepts to ensure these efforts are completed as quickly and as efficiently as possible.

In this session we will:

• Provide examples of the US Air Force’s latest acquisition strategy.
• Highlight the several wins that this strategy has delivered.
• Outline the various organizations that businesses may directly interact with to start a relationship with the US government.
• Discuss how the US military is using the latest project management techniques championed by PMI to ensure the greatest level of program success.
• Review the challenges of an agile government organization vs. traditional government processes.
