Agile Adoption in the Department of Defense (DoD)

Though they are starting to gain acceptance in the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) community, Agile methods are still relatively new to the DoD acquisition community. As recently as four years ago, most programs did not willingly or openly admit to using Agile methods even if they were. These methods can be disruptive for the DoD acquisition community since they are somewhat antithetical to the standard modes of operation within the DoD acquisition and development communities.
