1. Revision reflects an evolution, not a revolution
LCSP Outline v2.0
Revisions are made to:
Reflect new statute/policy
Incorporate lessons learned
Clarify guidance
Expand the Funding section to include O&S Cost Estimates, Should Cost Initiatives, and Affordability
Stress the tailorability of the document
Introduce “Critical Thinking Questions”
Reference appropriate DAG sections (future)
Plan is to make the LCSP outline stable (ie, update infrequently), while the DAG will evolve to capture new content, best practices, lessons learned, etc. (12-18 month content review).

Timeline
New programs and programs in acquisition:
Decision reviews more than 9 months away must transition to revised outline
