Abstract
Before the SWP policy was released in 2020, most acquisition policy and guidance was designed for hardware-centric programs using milestones that measured readiness to proceed to the next phase. The SWP was designed for software-intensive systems. It uses industry best practices and modern software development approaches to deliver software capability rapidly and iteratively. It was created using lessons learned from many years of studies and pilot programs.
