Agile Solution Factory
The Agile Solution Factory (ASF) is CACI’s proven Agile-at-Scale delivery execution model that enables faster capability delivery through increased productivity and lower cost by implementing efficiencies and automation.
Purpose-built for the federal government since 2005, the ASF delivers modern software at the speed of mission leveraging pre-built playbooks and accelerators that are based on a set of industry best practices that include Agile, DevSecOps/Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment, Open Architecture, Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL), and Human-Centered Design in an environment of innovation and transparency.
The ASF creates value using stories and utilizes story points to manage performance. The four pillars of the ASF focus on predictability, efficiency, transparency, and adaptability to create an optimized approach for software to flow through the factory model.
Predictability
Consistency across the organization, people, processes, and tools allows us to utilize objective measurements to predictably deliver value. Empirical evidence drives decision making as we continuously improve the likelihood of mission success.
Efficiency
The ASF adopts a series of key performance indicators and core metrics unique to Agile-at-scale which measures everything. Thousands of data points across some of the largest implementations of Agile in the U.S. government help drive the improvement.
Transparency
Stakeholders have dynamic and transparent access to all metrics to measure their factory’s performance. Everything is tracked within an Agile Project Management Tool, from high-level initiatives down to the sub-task level for each individual team member.
Adaptability
Focusing on the principles and values of Agile, we suggest tools based on patterns of data. Utilizing the ASF delivery execution model for Agile-at-scale, including SAFe®, Scrum, and others to build the most efficient factory possible.
CACI’s ASF model provides a set of principles and practices for efficient software capability delivery. The ASF model delivers iterative and incremental value by removing barriers among teams while promoting continuous collaboration to decentralize decision making. ASF teams plan incrementally for predictive releases. Product teams work in short sprints, conducting design-develop-test activities to implement the most important work first and deliver value, fast. CACI’s Product teams offer value, delivery, and performance priorities.
CACI successfully executed a Day 1 transition of a large DoD program to the ASF with outstanding results.

CACI Spotlight Series: Defining the Factory
The term ‘factory’ is very important to the ASF’s Agile-at-Scale delivery execution model because it represents our approach to producing value for our federal customers. Learn more from CACI’s Chris Ham on how CACI defines the Factory.
The Four Basics of Doing Agile Right
The benefits of Agile development have become more evident and widespread since its founding more than two decades ago. Beginning as an iterative approach to deliver enhancements on software projects, the discipline has evolved over time – sprouting up in other industries, including the federal government – with the desire to replicate the private sector success.
Agile SAFe Transforms the Air Force’s Financial Management Technology
The transition to Agile methodologies is an ongoing journey across the government. Adopting Agile software development enables organizations to quickly adapt to functional and operational priorities and deliver capabilities that amplify mission success.

Efficiency, operational expertise, collaboration, user centered design, and accelerated development are benefits that organizations seek to capture when they embrace Agile development. Yet, everyone talks about Agile, some do Agile, and fewer do it at enterprise scale.
CACI International Inc (NYSE: CACI) announced today that it has joined the GitLab Partner Program as the first federal system integrator. This program enables CACI to best leverage GitLab’s DevOps platform to deliver software faster (velocity) and more efficiently, while strengthening security and compliance.
