Solicitation: 36C10B20Q0193
The VA is transitioning to development and operations (DevOps) and Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). DevOps is a culture-based software engineering approach that aims at unifying software development and software operation, and mandates collaboration between the business and the IT organizations that develop, deliver, and manage applications for that business. The new culture will enable project teams to utilize self-service and have more autonomy with the approach used to meet customer needs.
SAFe is a proven approach that will allow VA to deliver solutions to customers faster and efficiently using Lean, Agile and DevOps principles, practices and processes. DevOps will improve the experience of OI&T customers, enable OI&T to deploy new systems and update existing systems more quickly and frequently, and will lower costs by leveraging industry best practices and innovation.
The Contractor shall provide test-driven software development (Dev) and information-technology operations (Ops) services using the D365 software application to shorten the system development life cycle and provide Continuous Development with high software quality. This software will be used to support/customize/develop D365 applications across the VA enterprise.
The Contractor shall provide product and delivery management, systems architecture, software development, user research, user experience strategy, information architecture, DevOps, integration support, and data analytics via Power BI Tool to build and continuously improve new and existing D365 solutions.
