This is the video of Joshua Seckel talk – ”Experimentation in US federal procurement: 30 days or less for an agile team” – at our conference ”Agile Procurement for Business Agility” in Stockholm. We´re so thankful for Joshuas great contribution and for letting us tape the talk and share it with you here too. Enjoy!
About the talk
Often the federal procurement cycle takes years to complete and often the requirements that were defined at the time the cycle started are outdated by the time a team is starting work. USCIS has executed several experiments in the procurement process to try to get to 30 days or less to awarding a contract. See the results of how these experiments have gone and how they have been applied to much larger DHS wide procurements.
