AT&L Best Practices Clearinghouse (BPCh) Program Goals
A Single Source For answers about
practices, how to apply them, when they are good to use; lessons learned; and risks to
avoid
Useful Information Help finding,
selecting, and implementing
practices appropriate to User’s situation; fill the gap between “what” and “how”
Validated practices Consistent, verifiable
information
Repository
Active Knowledge BaseNot just another practice
list; experience data updated, expanded refined; encourages
organic growth
Living KnowledgeIntegration with
DoD communities of practice (ACC)
and experts
3
DoD’s Experience in the Use of Best Practices
• “Best” practices are recommended, but…– Too many lists to choose from
– No basis for selecting specific practices
– Proof of effectiveness is not generally available
– Not easy to see connection between practices and specific program risks or issues
– Practice’s success factors not well understood
– Resources are limited and the return on practice investment is unknown (costs/benefits)
– Implementation guidance is inadequate
• In 2003, Congress directed DoD to do it better, with a focus on S/W development and acquisition
4
Why build the BPCh?
• Intended to be the Department’s enterprise solution for acquisition-related best practices– A “living” repository for empirical information– Captures practice experience in context
• Provides a unique tool for selecting appropriate, validated practices– Integrated with Defense Acquisition web-based information tools
(DAG, ACC and COPs, AKSS)– Distills broad experience into useful information
• Satisfies the Section 804 requirement for establishing a “… software development and acquisition clearinghouse…”
7
Big “A” Portal Objectives
• Provide a single entry point for ALL THINGS ACQUISITION– USD AT&L Policy and Guidance, Service Acquisition Portals, Best
Practices, Acquisition Communities, DAWIA, Distance Learning, Continuous Learning, Virtual Campus(s), Knowledge Portals, Gateways, and Learning, Management, & Workflow Tools
– BAP is not the ONLY entry point for these services and tools, but will be capable of aggregating these under one overarching banner
• Consolidate for ease of access and search, all aspects of AT&L knowledge across DoD and Industry, including (where possible) CoPs behind firewalls
• Provide a single sign-on capability (where possible) for the AT&L workforce to all AT&L systems and portals in the “UNCLASS” domain– e.g. DAU Virtual Campus, DoD ACC and BPCh, Air Force Portal and Air
Force Knowledge Now communities, Army Knowledge Online portal, Navy Knowledge Online portal
8
BAP Desired Capabilities
• Provide unique portal “services” and “focused” sub-portals based on use cases
• Filtering by organization, topic, asset type (by an AT&L taxonomy)
• Personalized “My Sites” for daily needs of the acquisition workforce, including customizable and selectable web services and “web parts” (similar to “My Yahoo”)
• Automatic, but user-controlled, push of desired AT&L knowledge
• Potential use of controlled use of blogs and wikis to build and share knowledge across DoD
• Leverage experience/best practices from implementation of DAUNet (DAU’s intranet), Service/Agency portals, and leverage affordability of Microsoft DoD Educational product pricing (Use of MOSS 2007)

Engaged Learner Architecture Vision
Leverage and add to the Performance Learning Model (PLM) products and services to significantly enhance the
engaged AT&L workforce’s capability to find, access and use the learning and
knowledge assets and expertise required to meet their formal learning and job
support needs.
13
A DoD workforce member who is engaged in:
• Performing their job as effectively and efficiently as possible
• Becoming competent to support job requirements
• Becoming professionally certified (DAWIA)
• Becoming more knowledgeable through formal continuous learning (80 hr/2yr policy) and informal continuous learning (personal interest or job related)

Ultimate ELA objective is to provide users the capability to find just the right “set” of knowledge assets to meet their needs in the time they have available.
