Description

The course is designed to facilitate interactions and advice given by the program attorney to programmatic and contracting personnel by providing program attorneys insight into the challenges that their clients face in trying to execute a successful program. Approximately half of the instruction will be focused on overviews by DAU Faculty of the DoD Decision Support Systems, Acquisition Strategy formulation, contract types and their use, program management tools, cost estimating methodologies, and a summary of recent policy and regulatory developments. The other half of the course focuses on case studies, applications, and issues of current critical interest presented by senior attorneys, program managers and executive officers, financial management experts, and other guest speakers.

Objectives
