Rapid Improvement Team (RIT) Initiative with Lessons Learned from GTN21.

摘要

Rapid Improvement Team (RIT) and Evolutionary Acquisition Decision Review (EADR) process. Outline the RIT initiative as an OSD sponsored program to use evolutionary acquisition to get IT capabilities to the warfighter faster. RIT moves large software intensive programs from "Oversight" to "Insight" transforming the way we think about how to satisfy statutory and regulatory acquisition requirements without impacting or stalling programs that would provide sorely needed mission capabilities. GTN 21 is the first of the RIT programs to successfully pass an EADR that gives the equivalent of a MS B decision. This precedent setting event included much discussion about how to shift the burden off proof of compliance on the part of the program office "oversight" to the burden of review and facilitation on the part of the OSD and Service stakeholders "insight".
