The Defense Acquisition University has established this community of practice (CoP) within the ACC portal to provide a forum for information exchange and peer-to-peer discussions to provide acquisition organizations enterprise best practices to accomplish smart, disciplined, efficient, and effective program terminations when required to do so. The President of the Defense Acquisition University has approved the Smart ShutDown Program model construct to support all Services and acquisition organizations in this goal. The Smart ShutDown Program Support CoP provides the defense acquisition community a forum for their “voice to be heard” in identifying goals, processes, shortfalls, issues, best practices, plans, and considerations in all aspects of program termination activities. All contributions to this effort can be submitted to this CoP or to SmartShutDownPS@DAU.mil. The opportunity to contribute your ideas is here, and the time is now.
