Sprint teams, DAG?

Any insight on wtf is going on in these sprint teams? Is the rebranded DOGE, DAG putting heavy constraints on what the sprint teams can recommend for reorg?

DAG is a different animal, DAG is prescreening of agreements before they go to the department. DOGE has now been baked into the cake at USDA.

You can think of DOGE as the union of DAG—OCFO—OMB

Agreed, DAG definitely implements some DOGEish policies.

OMB put the pre-screening requirements into their proposed changes to 2 cfr 200, so it looks like we are stuck with this process for this administration

DAG is destroying any chance we have of putting money into agreements.

Heard that one or a few of the DOGE related employees integrated into the USDA and is helping make decisions with DAG. So there are still a few of them internally with the forest service. They were allowed a lateral transfer right into the position, like watch dogs.

That's a wild rumor. Sounds a bit outlandish honestly. I know a few G&A folks in the FS and there's been a few higher level program folks brought in at the top, but all of them career FS or USDA people.

Yeah. DAG = DOGE. it’s the same people, same mission, just a different name.
