摘要

In April 1994, Section C of the Program Management Course (PMC 94-1) embarked ona project to review the oversight by Congress of DoD acquisition programs with the aim of continuous improvement. The section divided into three teams. The charter for Team 1 was to analyze the pending legislation in the House and Senate concerning acquisition reform to determine potential impacts on DoD. Team 2 was chartered to examine the recurring formal oversight documentation required by Congress. And Team 3 was chartered to examine the one-time reports required by law and committee language. For each team, a learning contract was developed and signed which summarized the team's planned objectives, as well as the methods, resources, schedule and products to be used and/or produced by the team. The final products for each team includes a series of briefings, an article suitable for publication and a final report.
