Situation
What was happening.
Microsoft's IVAS program — a HoloLens-based mixed-reality headset developed for the U.S. Army — required disciplined program delivery across hardware, software, and field-testing workstreams inside a high-visibility, closely scrutinized government engagement.
Operating constraint
What had to change.
Hardware, software, testing, milestone, and government-stakeholder workstreams needed coordinated governance and program-level risk visibility.
Structure built
How the work moved.
- Provided program and delivery leadership across engineering, testing, and government-stakeholder workstreams
- Established delivery governance and executive/government reporting cadences
- Coordinated cross-functional teams spanning hardware, software, and field-test functions
- Supported milestone tracking and program-level risk management for a multi-year defense-technology contract
Scope
What was covered.
Delivery responsibilities are documented here at a program level; specific contract milestones and test outcomes are governed by public DoD/Army program reporting and are not detailed further here.
