During a May 2022 Agile information session for Program Executive Office Enterprise Information Systems (PEO EIS), ASA(ALT) Principal Deputy Young Bang said one of the chief benefits of moving from waterfall to Agile software development was risk reduction. 

Less than one year after the Army began rolling out an upgraded version of its Soldier tuition and credentialing assistance portal, ArmyIgnitED, U.S. Army Program Executive Office Enterprise Information Systems and the Army Credentialing and Continuing Education Services for Soldiers have achieved full deployment of the system, effective Aug. 24, 2023.

ArmyIgnitED achieved another key milestone in July with the release of functionality for Army civilians. With the latest capability release, the Army’s voluntary education and training portal is now available to all user groups — Soldiers, cadets and civilians.   

In April 2023, PEO EIS’ ArmyIgnitED team hit a major milestone on its way to full deployment of the Army’s voluntary education program.

Army Program Executive Office Enterprise Information Systems’ adoption of an Agile approach to project management and software development is paying off for users of the Army’s tuition assistance portal for Soldiers and civilians.
