A couple of updates impacting our requirements community:
1. As part of our DAU requirements management curriculum, we address rapid acquisition. For example, in RQM 310, we use a computer simulation exercise to examine a notional Joint Urgent Operational Need (JUON) situation. Follow the link below to access an article describing a JUON-related policy update currently in the works:

When this approved policy hits the streets, we’ll include it in our curriculum and on our RMCoP as soon as we can...
2. We’re also preparing to teach the fifteenth offering of RQM 310 next week. RQM 310 is our week-long classroom course necessary for DoD Level C requirements management certification. I mention it here since this is our second “double” offering. Normally, we teach a class of 30 individuals – this double offering will have 50 students. We’re doing this now to work out any logistical kinks in anticipation of a possible increase in RQM 310 demand.
