In the world of acquisition and project management, cost, schedule and performance are king. Actually delivering a product that meets the needs—performance—in the agreed-upon timeframe—schedule—and with the resources you’ve been given—cost—is harder than it sounds and is doubly so within DOD. The challenges are formidable:
- A requirements process that takes two to four years.
- A money forecasting process that takes two to seven years.
- A milestone approval process that takes three to six months of staffing at each checkpoint.
Add to the above list of challenges the customer expectation so clearly expressed by one of my former customers: “I want it now. If I wanted it in three years, I’d ask for it in three years.”

SPOTLIGHT: Ms. Monica Walker "A 'true bean counter' takes a stand.
You know that line about how you have to stand for something or you'll fall for anything? Monica Walker has found her joy standing firm for the principle that the Army supply Soldiers with the best information technology (IT) equipment without spending a fortune. She relishes her role as a steward of taxpayer dollars. "In this position you have to be slightly aggressive, because you're always being pushed or guided in a particular direction, so you have to figure out quickly what's right and then take that stand."
