Defense Acquisition Guidebook is Being Retired

August 15, 2022September 6, 2022Webmaster

DAU is retiring the Defense Acquisition Guidebook and replacing it with a series of new guidebooks. To prioritize the transition of the APM consistent with the expected 16 Sept retirement date, we need your help to prioritize the inclusion of the new guidebooks. Please note the replacement for Chapter 3 (Engineering guidance) is currently in the APM while Chapter 8 (Test and Evaluation) and Chapter 9 (Program Protection) do not currently have superseding guidance. Thanks for your recommendations to enable the update. The survey is now closed.

DAU Links are Changing

September 13, 2019September 18, 2019Webmaster

Recently, the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) changed its domain from a .mil to a .edu. When going to a DAU link from the APM you might have seen the following message talking about automatic redirections. To our understanding, these automatic redirections will stop functioning on 20 September 2019. If we hear of a definitive date, we will update this article. Lastly, the APM has already been updated for all DAU links to use the .edu domain. This article is for your situational awareness.

Finally, we have a tool that contains everything we need. We no longer have to go to several different areas.

Thank you for building this product. As a PM with an engineering degree, this helps organize the data in a way I think. The introduction to the website definitely helped me to understand the structure and make the data useable for the future.

GS-12 Program Manager

Great quick update of the significant revisions to the tool. This was extremely timely training, as we are in the early planning phase for MS-B and ASP development. The tool will be extremely helpful.

I work in Space Sustainment, but knowing the steps involved and having the ability to drill down into those steps to know what is being required of the program office is invaluable.
