DLA relies on software-intensive systems to support its work. An important determinant of the quality of software-intensive systems, and thus DLA's mission performance, is the quality of the processes used to acquire these systems. DLA does not have mature software acquisition processes across the agency, as evidenced by the wide disparity in the rigor and discipline of processes between the two systems GAO evaluated. Moreover, DLA does not have a software process improvement program in place to effectively strengthen its corporate software acquisition processes. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-9/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-9.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-9/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-9.pdf GAO-02-9 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-9 Other Written Product GAO-02-9; Information Technology: Inconsistent Software Acquisition Processes at the Defense Logistics Agency Increase Project Risks; Computer software Information technology Military forces Agency missions Strategic planning Performance measures DLA Business Systems Modernization DLA Fuels Automated System F1A-18 Aircraft Hornet Aircraft SEI Software Acquisition Capability Maturity Model Public Law 106-398
