Learn. Perform. Succeed.

Focus of KS Initiatives

• Deliver easily consumable content to the local venue – Offer dynamic content that plays in the workforce local

environment – their portal– Game plan is not to compete with Service and local portals but

to provide a choice of dynamic acquisition content to customize their sites

• Promote collaboration across Services and Agencies via social networking tools (tagging, user feedback, content detection/visibility)

• Foster greater participation and engagement of workforce in the acquisition knowledgebase – learning and sharing across organizations – Mass Collaboration


Value to the Workforce:

Key FY 08 Planned Activities:

Best Practice Clearinghouse

• DT and OT for Milestone C Jan 2008• Complete full-scale development of BPCh v1.0 and launch Jan 31, 2008

• Focus on SE and SAM (Personal support by DUSD(AT&L)(PA)• Operate, maintain, and expand content• Establish Data Mart metrics • Integrate with ACC & DAU classes• Expand to include PM, Log, Con practices

• 24/7 access to proven, vetted acquisition practices to support better informed program decisions• Fills Congressionally recognized void in the acquisition process

First use of MOSS 2007

Detailed MOSS and Portal brief in November


Value to the workforce:

Key FY 08 Planned Activities :

“BIG A”Portal

Big A Portal (BAP)

• Develop framework for BAP in MOSS 2007• Determine compatibility/integration with existing AKSS portal web-parts• Initial BAP concept development & prototype “web parts/services” for internal/external use• Transition AKSS content to BAP, test, and deploy BAP v1.0• Establish Data Mart metrics

• 24/7 access to personalized Acquisition content• Initial capability for DAU content inside of other portals through “web parts/services”

AT RISK Due to 5000.2 Delay(subject to receipt of 5000.2 that was originally projected for delivery on 12 OCT… work at standstill as of 28 SEP… need 15 working days after final 5000.2 to complete project if no changes are simultaneously made to the Guidebook or 5000.1)

AT RISK due to DAG Schedule (hard copy IFC changes are dependent on finalized 5000.2 & Web-Enabled IFC is dependent on final IFC Chart)

Potential RISK if IFC slips into this projected timeframe

* Attempting to continue project at same time as DAG & IFC if possible w/ resources available

RISKS are:•if development effort for AKSS metrics is significant•Potential security scan issues•Content Migration•Hardware
