Digital Material Management (DMM) Workshop:
Implementing a Digital Technical Review Process
Led by: LtCol Ryan Pospisal
Description: Engage with industry and domain experts to identify challenges, approaches, and solutions for conducting digital-based, accelerated, and continuous design reviews (e.g. System Engineering Technical Reviews (SETRs). We seek insights on current successes and challenges executing design reviews in industry and the necessary steps to foster a culture change towards leveraging digital material management, enhancing efficiency and effectiveness in this area.
Desired Outcome: Establish best practices for digital program reviews, standardize approaches across government organizations to boost industry efficiency, identify transitional risk, and identify capability gaps for tool vendors and Digital Material Management service providers to target in product development.
