310 Week 1 Forum

 Please before you understand that this bid requires a forum     post  along  with 2 forum post responses below, both must be done.  The    budget  is what  it is posted, please do not try to raise the  price,    either you  will do  it or the next person will. The forum  post is due    by Thursday  and the responses by Sun; I will annotate  this posting   with  responses  once I get them and contact you  

Your  reading requirements and collaboration with others in the forum is  designed to expose you to the program management process employed  throughout the Department of Defense today.  After  gaining a better understanding of Program management history, roles,  responsibilities, and authority of a program manager, you will be able  to answer the first forum question: 

What would necessitate the Department of Defense (DoD) to have a structured, regulated, and robust acquisition system?

Now,  if you are now familiar with NCMA you should be. Take a quick look at  this Youtube video. It does run 22 minutes and give your valuable  insights into what is the NCMA.  Enjoy. You might find some interesting  ideas to help answer this question for this week's form or a new  direction to think.
