The
Defense Acquisition University (DAU) has established this Community of Practice (CoP) within the ACC portal concerning the topic of DoD Program Terminations (ShutDowns). The
Smart ShutDown Performance Support (SSPS) CoP provides a forum for information exchange and peer-to-peer discussions in respect to acquisition organization enterprise best practices to accomplish smart, disciplined, efficient, and effective program terminations when required to do so. The President of DAU has approved the Smart ShutDown Performance model construct to support all Services and acquisition organizations in this goal. The SSPS CoP provides the defense acquisition community with 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 a global email address,
SmartShutDownPS@dau.mil.
The opportunity to contribute your ideas is here, and the time is now.
