The Program Managers e-Tool Kit was developed to web-enable the popular Tool Kit book and enrich it with links to related resources.
What is the e-Tool Kit? The e-Tool Kit is a collection of helpful DoD program management information, including graphical summaries of acquisition policies and managerial skills. It evolved from a collection of class handouts developed by Charles F. Schied of the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) Program Management Course 92-1. It links to related DAU resources and includes Performance Learning Tools (PLTs) to help program managers do their jobs.
How do I use the e-Tool Kit?
The e-Tool Kit gateway at https://pmtoolkit.dau.mil
lets you access all e-Tool Kit resources easily. You can use the search bar to search within e-Tool Kit only, or click on
the Table of Contents to view contents grouped by topic. Each e-Tool Kit page has an expandable menu in the left-hand side
that lets you jump to whatever topic you choose.
The e-Tool Kit features various Performance Learning Tools that include downloadable checklists, on-screen
calculators, and diagrams with clickable boxes that take you to helpful definitions and explanations from ACQuipedia, your
online Acquisition encyclopedia.
Future direction: We're collaborating with OSD and Joint programs to find, adapt,
and create helpful tools for the PM workforce, and we'd like your help! Please suggest new tools and other resources by
emailing pmtoolkit@dau.mil or clicking the Feedback
link. Also contact us if you already use or know of a tool that you think other PMs might benefit from - these can range
from an Excel spreadsheet to a diagram or template, to existing computer applications. We'll give credit to the creators or
originators of the tool, and you'll be helping fellow Acquisition professionals to do their jobs better.

Preface
This Fifteenth Edition (version 1.0) of the DAU Program Manager's Tool Kit contains a graphic summary of acquisition policies and managerial skills frequently required by DoD program managers. It is a current version of a "Tool Box" that was first developed by Charles F. Schied of the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) Program Management Course (PMC) 92-1. The information in the Tool Kit is extracted from DAU course material and is based on DoDD 5000.01 (May 12, 2003), DoDI 5000.02 (December 8, 2008), the Defense Acquisition Guidebook (DAG), CJCSI 6212.01E (December 15, 2008), and CJCSI 3170.01G (March 1, 2009). Material from the DAU Acker Library and Knowledge Repository was also used.
Since the DAU Program Manager's Tool Kit is a compilation of classroom presentation and teaching materials used in a number of different courses at DAU, the charts and tables vary in look and feel.
Users of the Tool Kit are reminded that this summary is a guide only and should not be used as a substitute for official policy guidance. Periodic review of official policy guidance is recommended.
The Tool Kit is current as of April 1, 2009. Periodic updates are made on the DAU Web site.
