These look great, and you would hope that an institution like the DoD would have these requirements. It raises two questions.

The first is did the DoD actually experience a higher success rate in IT projects since adopting these rules? Specifically rules 2 and 3 are meant to protect against costly budget overruns and outright failures that plague government procurement of software.

The second is, did the DoD actually manage to get big software vendors to agree to rules 6 and 7? Do they have a working Windows build pipeline? And what about "modern" vendors like Palantir?


May want to add 2018 to the title.

Sounds like something that would've been a part of the AI bubble, but it was written in 2018
