Knowledge and experience with Agile implementation, including but not limited to the following: Management of an Agile software development methodology; User Story management, sizing, and estimation method; Techniques for release planning; Plans for engaging end users; Methods for capturing and applying lessons learned, testing processes, reasons behind the composition of their Agile teams; Rationale behind the proposed development talent and project oversight (tied to Product Vision); How they will make resources available within schedule and budget constraints; and Approach to configuration management. This factor will be evaluated based on the above, to determine the extent to which the Offeror’s proposed approach will ensure successful implementation of the stated objectives. This factor will assess the Offeror’s overall approach to the project and what, if anything, it would need from the Government to ensure success as well as identifying any barriers that would reduce or delay success. Factor 2 Past Performance/Prior Experience – Offerors shall submit information for not more than five (5) distinct projects completed within the last 3 years that are similar in scope and complexity to this requirement which clearly demonstrate an understanding of and ability to meet the technical requirements expressed in this solicitation. In evaluation of past performance, the Contracting Officer can consider other sources beyond what is provided. Within the five permitted references, only three are allowed to be submitted for subcontractors. Preference may be given to Offerors who submit at least one example of past experience with agile software development. This factor assesses the Offeror’s experience performing work that is similar to the work to be performed under this Task Order. Consideration will be given to what aspects of an Offeror’s contract history provide the most confidence that the Offeror will satisfy the requirements described in this RFQ. This factor considers the quality of the Offeror’s performance on current or completed contracts and evaluates the Government’s level of confidence that the Offeror will be able to successfully accomplish this effort. The following points will be considered in assessing the Offeror’s ability to perform the Task Order successfully (confidence rating): Technical past performance: quality of product, analytical capability and capability to employ sound engineering practices; in particular, prior experience with projects where the Offeror was responsible for the following activities which are considered most relevant to success on this project:
