Summary The Policy & Capabilities Directorate ensures the IC is best postured for the threats and challenges of an uncertain future, through strategy, policy, and capabilities development. Comprised of 7 organizations, PC oversees IC Human Capital; Acquisition, Procurement & Facilities; Intelligence Advance Research Projects Activity; Science & Technology Group; Requirements, Cost & Effectiveness; Policy & Strategy; and Domestic Engagement, Information Sharing & Data. Responsibilities Lead and manage complex computer engineering projects or programs that may have ill-defined requirements, ambiguity, parallel tasks, multiple dependencies, high risks, and multiple interfaces; manage the design, construction, testing, and implementation of technical and functional specifications; provide technical oversight and initiate, plan, implement, and coordinate activities throughout the life of the project. Guide the implementation of standards practices for data interoperability across the Intelligence Community by implementing the IC Data Centric Framework (DCF), to include the development and re-use of Functional Standards leveraging the Core Data Layer, and Semantic Data Layer to meet mission requirements and provide guidance to engineers in the design and development of implementation (engineering solutions). Deconflict complex functional requirements into underlying technical requirements and recommend \"best fit\" allocation of those requirements. Lead the development of technical and systems requirements. Lead the collaboration of technical and mission Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to define and publish an IC Data Reference Architecture that will lead to an interoperable IC data ecosystem informed by data mesh principles. Analyze, define, and document requirements for data, workflows, logical processes, hardware and operating system environments, network connectivity, systems interfaces, internal and external checks and controls, and outputs. Lead periodic updates to the IC Data Centric Framework to incorporate emerging technologies, policies, procedures, and legalities. Engage across the ODNI, IC, and with partners to enable data interoperability and enhance intelligence sharing. Oversee and guide efforts to make IC data discoverable, accessible, and useable by humans and machines at the speed of mission by developing and implementing rigorous end-to-end data management practice guidance. Oversee the effective integration and interoperability of disparate capabilities developed by separate service providers. Mentor executive leaders, and the most senior internal and external customers (e.g. policymakers, IC components, Agency executive), and data professionals on related technical acumen, standards, and governance to advance the intelligence mission.
