Of the 14 members of the office, a dozen, including Director Jennifer Hay, have requested the Trump administration’s deferred resignation option and plan to leave by May 1. Two other staffers are also leaving in that time frame.

“Although DDS was excited to support DoD’s efforts to improve efficiencies and champion software modernization initiatives, the Administration was not leveraging DDS and hiring freezes, rescinding remote work, and travel restrictions were making us non-mission capable,” the current office member told The Hill. “As a result, most of the team elected to resign.”

…

Still, DDS efforts are expected to continue elsewhere. The member who spoke with The Hill said the office has “found permanent homes for most of our ongoing projects.”

So:

• it’s not a huge office
• seems more of a protest than being forced out (though maybe that was inevitable, we don’t know)
• projects are continuing, just under different management - so expect delays, but projects aren’t cancelled
