The Department of Defense Digital Engineering Strategy

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> How can engineering constituents, services, and agents do their job better? The answer might be found in the Digital Engineering Strategy of the Department of Defense.  This strategy aims to identify what exactly needs to be done to work in the digital space to increase universal understanding and the assimilation of</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">the authoritative source of truths</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">in every job. To help explain this initiative, today Thom Singer and Craig Brown are joined by</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Philomena (Phil) Zimmerman, Director for Engineering Tools and Environments within the Department of Defense Office of the Deputy Director for Engineering. She explains the goals of the DOD Digital Engineering Strategy, how you can learn more about it, and what the world might look like when everyone is more reliant and tolerant of the digital world. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On today’s podcast, you will learn:</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>The goals of the Department of Defense Digital Engineering Strategy</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">This effort aims to improve engineering practice by taking advantage of available computational powers. </span></li> </ul> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Engineering practices are made more rigorous when utilizing these tools. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The digital engineering strategy identifies</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">what</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">needs to be done to work in the digital space.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The services and agencies are responsible for</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">how</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">the work is done.</span
