2023/08/29

As the Pentagon tries to move more and more toward modern software development practices, it’s become clear, the DoD budgeting system is a bad fit because of its various colors of money. Does that agile development program count as procurement? R&D? operations and maintenance? Congress has given a handful of programs permission to experiment with using just one color of money for software. One of them is the Navy’s Maritime Tactical Command and Control system. For the difference that's made, Federal

Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is one of something like 30 agencies that have a hand in disaster recovery. In trying to avoid duplicating benefits to disaster victims, in 2017 HUD started work on a data portal. A place where grantees would load information on benefits the had already received, so HUD could see it. HUD's Office of Inspector General (OIG) has found the data portal is only partially completed.
