This Sixteenth Edition of the DAU Program Managers ToolKit contains a graphic summary of acquisition policies and managerial skills frequently required by DoD program managers. It is a current version of a "Tool Box" that was first developed by the Defense Acquisition University (DAU). The information in the Tool Kit is extracted from DAU course material and is based on DoDD 5000.01 (May 12, 2003), DoDI 5000.02 (December 8, 2008), the Defense Acquisition Guidebook (DAG), (August 5, 2010), CJCSI 6212.01E (December 15, 2008), CJCSI 3170.01G (March 1, 2009), the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System Manual (July 31, 2009), and the Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act of 2009. Material from the DAU Acker Library and Knowledge Repository was also used. Since the DAU Program Managers Tool Kit is a compilation of classroom presentation and teaching materials used in a number of different courses at DAU, the charts and tables vary in look and feel. Users of the Tool Kit are reminded that this summary is a guide only and should not be used as a substitute for official policy guidance. Periodic review of official policy guidance is recommended.
