AGILE INFORMATION
PEO pilot for PSR and “pre-lock” data—PEOs EIS,
Aviation and
Ground Combat Systems are partici- pating in a PSR pilot effort in which their pre-lock data are transferred from the Universal Acquisition Data Dis- play and Entry module (UADDE) on a daily basis. Pre-lock data consist of information from the “current esti- mate” versus the “archive” data in the UADDE.
Data security—Security restricts access to pre-lock data to the appro- priate personnel. Visibility of the data is limited to the programs within a PEO and is associated with the access granted to users in the PEO’s Army Acquisition Business Enterprise Portal profile. Te user’s PEO is displayed below the filters in the left-hand mar- gin of the page.
PEO PSR remarks—Te PSR tab displays PEO-level remarks not asso- ciated with any specific program, so that PEOs can provide introductory comments for the PSR briefing to ASA(ALT) leadership. If these remarks are added in UADDE, played on the PSR tab.
FINDING A BETTER WAY
The AcqBusiness program has increased the efficiency of internal processes by identifying ways to improve operations and reduce expenditures. “Scrum boards,” also called “information radiators,” allow AcqBusiness team members a way to exchange information during daily stand-up meetings known as “scrums,” during which they discuss ongoing work, progress and impediments.

ARMY ACQUISITION WORKFORCE DASHBOARD Te USAASC, which manages the Army’s acquisition career management pro- grams and policies, recently approached AcqBusiness for a solution that would provide near-real-time information on the health and status of the Army Acquisi- tion Workforce. AcqBusiness conducted a demonstration of the AAD for USAASC to illustrate key capabilities, such as busi- ness intelligence reporting, that could be leveraged to support the development of a workforce dashboard solution.
Before the AAWF Dashboard, USAASC was creating a 150-page PowerPoint slide deck to report on personnel data.
84 Army AL&T Magazine briefing method, reports
quickly became outdated. Te dashboard will provide USAASC with stron- ger, more timely insight into the Army acquisition workforce.
In collaboration with USAASC, Acq- Business developed wireframes, or screen blueprints, to capture required data ele- ments for each dashboard report. Tese details were then captured through “user stories,” which in turn provided a basis for prioritizing requirements into “sprints” whereby the team worked to turn product backlog requirements into increments of completed functionality.
During development of the dashboard, user stories were reviewed individually
via developer-user interface and analyst- tester sessions. In addition, USAASC was also granted access to AcqBusi- ness test environments where it could view software during the testing phase. Tis unique access allowed USAASC greater visibility of the project’s efforts and facilitated communication and col- laboration between the project team and stakeholder.
Currently, the AAWF Dashboard is in limited release to USAASC, but is expected to provide useful capabilities including key performance indicators, workforce demographics and certification status, and the ability to tailor reporting data through multilevel filtering.
