Tremendous Article by Capt Reed Schafer, USAF. This is exactly what we are trying to achieve at PM-ProLearn "Current culture has been plagued with an overly risk-averse culture, a bloated bureaucracy, and poor cost, schedule, and performance of developing and fielding its critical weapon systems necessary to fight and win in tomorrow’s battles.

While many of the top-performing companies integrate the international gold standard Project Management Professional® certification into their Project/Program Manager's career progression, the Department of Air Force does not." Integrating, #Agile, #PMP and #leansixsigma would greatly improve our ability in acquisitions but I would argue every day leadership across all ranks.
