Lyn Dellinger

Ms. Lyn Elliott Dellinger, Consultant, is a Software and Acquisition Specialist with over 30 years of experience in training, process engineering, software project management, system analysis, design, and implementation of military and business systems.   She brings her extensive experience in evaluating her clients’ process assets and comparing their process capabilities against the Software Engineering Institute’s Software and/or Software Acquisition Capability Maturity Model (CMM) and against the Capability Maturity Model Integrated (CMMI) to PI-21’s clients.  She has assisted in evaluating process improvement support tools, defined strategies for and planned process improvement efforts, provided briefings, training and workshops, and assisted clients in preparing for process appraisals, audits and evaluations. Ms. Dellinger has led or participated in numerous Software Capability Evaluations (SCEs) and SCAMPI appraisals for companies of varying sizes, maturity/capability levels and types. Lyn has facilitated strategic planning, team building and other change management activities and planned and implemented quality assurance programs and performed IV&V activities for clients in multiple industries and business sectors.

During a distinguished career with DoD,  which began as an ADP Internship with the Navy, she rose quickly, making career moves to the Marine Corps, the Army, DARPA and the DoD’s Defense Systems Management College. She was frequently on the leading edge of new technology for these services, but was always drawn to process improvement and team building to improve the performance of her staff. As the Chief of the Army’s (USAISC) Professional Development Division, she established a Command-wide information center, and was on the Commandant’s Advisory Council. At DARPA, she distinguished herself as a Security Officer, and by establishing an in-house speakers’ program that enhanced data-sharing within the agency.

Her final DoD post was as a Professor of Software Acquisition Management where she researched, planned, developed, and taught courses in software systems acquisition and management to senior-level military and civilian executives. She consulted with congressional staff, Pentagon, major DoD program offices, and other federal agencies on issues related to software systems, quality assurance, management, and quality. She conducted or participated in SCEs and risk assessments in conjunction with major programs’ source selection efforts. She was a college representative  to the steering group that developed the Software Acquisition CMM at SEI, and was a Baldrige National Quality Award Evaluation coordinator for the College. She was selected for a  consulting assignment to the House of Representatives National Security Committee advising on Acquisition Reform and Information Technology issues. 

She is a Qualified Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator Analyst, Certified Total Quality Management Facilitator,  Certified Acquisition Professional-Level III, and a Certified Project Management Professional.
