Using Epic to Find Conflicts, Inconsistencies, and Gaps in Department of Defense Policies

by Carolyn Wong, Daniel Gonzales, Chad J.R. Ohlandt

The authors present a framework and methodology to identify the roles and responsibilities of those implementing Department of Defense policies and also potential conflicts, ambiguities, gaps, inconsistencies, and redundancies in those policies. They introduce a new software tool that automates one step of the methodology--EPIC--and demonstrate its use with three case studies to illustrate the technique and also the tool's flexibility.
