Our goal is to make the government a smarter and more informed buyer of digital products and services.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg\n    src=\"https://s3.amazonaws.com/digitalgov/_legacy-img/2016/10/600-x-272-screen-capture-Digital-Acquisition-Accelerator-homepage.jpg\"\n    alt=\"Screen capture of the Digital Acquisition Accelerator homepage.\"/\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe playbook has four main sections:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverview\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase studies\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcess\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimers\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https://pages.18f.gov/digital-acquisition-playbook/\"\u003eoverview section\u003c/a\u003e provides background on digital acquisitions and highlights some ways to lower risk when planning this type of activity. The \u003ca href=\"https://pages.18f.gov/digital-acquisition-playbook/case-study/\"\u003ecase study section\u003c/a\u003e looks to underline successful projects and approaches to digital acquisitions in agencies across the federal government. The \u003ca href=\"https://pages.18f.gov/digital-acquisition-playbook/process/\"\u003eprocess section\u003c/a\u003e details our approach to digital acquisitions from building a cross-functional team to closing out phases of a project (Note: some sections of the handbook are still in-progress). Lastly, the \u003ca href=\"https://pages.18f.gov/digital-acquisition-playbook/primers/\"\u003eprimers section\u003c/a\u003e provides an overview of key concepts and terms related to digital acquisitions. Currently, the playbook includes primers on agile, lean startup, human-centered design, open innovation, and modular contracting.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s a lot to learn about digital acquisitions and more of it’s being defined as we go along. We hope that this \u003ca href=\"https://pages.18f.gov/digital-acquisition-playbook/\"\u003eplaybook\u003c/a\u003e serves as a “where to start” guide. We also plan to publish more tools, resources, and tactics as we discover them in our day-to-day work at \u003ca href=\"https://18f.gsa.gov/\"\u003e18F\u003c/a\u003e, the \u003ca href=\"https://presidentialinnovationfellows.gov/\"\u003ePresidential Innovation Fellows\u003c/a\u003e program (PIF), and from the work of our agency partners across the government.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, this is a living playbook that should be refined over time based on all of our collective experiences. Since the \u003ca href=\"https://pages.18f.gov/digital-acquisition-playbook/\"\u003eplaybook\u003c/a\u003e is live on GitHub, you can directly suggest edits or improvements by making a \u003ca href=\"https://github.com/18F/digital-acquisition-playbook\"\u003epull request or filing an issue\u003c/a\u003e. Let’s work together to pool our collective knowledge of the digital acquisition landscape into this playbook to make it more useful for everyone.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg\n    src=\"https://s3.amazonaws.com/digitalgov/_legacy-img/2016/10/600-x-333-Screen-capture-Digital-Acquisition-Playbook-homepage.jpg\"\n    alt=\"Screen capture of the Digital Acquisition Playbook homepage.\"/\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\n"}
