Specifically, DOD has not (1) ensured that accountability and responsibility for measuring progress against commitments are clearly understood, performed, and reported; (2) demonstrated, on the basis of reliable data and credible analysis, that the proposed system solution will produce economic benefits commensurate with costs; (3) used data on progress against project cost, schedule, and performance commitments throughout a project's life cycle to make investment decisions; and (4) divided this large project into a series of incremental investment decisions to spread the risks over smaller, more manageable components. GAO found that DOD lacks the basic information needed to make informed decisions on how to proceed with the project. Nevertheless, DOD continues to push forward in acquiring and deploying additional versions of SPS that involve considerable risk. This testimony summarized the July report, GAO-01-682. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-392T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-392T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-392T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-392T.pdf GAO-02-392T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-392T Testimony GAO-02-392T; DOD's Standard Procurement System: Continued Investment Has Yet to Be Justified; Defense procurement Defense economic analysis Information resources management Information systems Performance measures DOD Standard Procurement System Public Law 104-106
