ISTAR TD Implementation Objectives

• Transition ability– Transition ability and viability of a solution requires to look at

the big picture (holistic perspective).• Intelligence

– Main focus of ISTAR TD on intelligence functions.• Fusion

– Land fusion level 2, 3 and 4 is far more complex than expected.

• Dynamics– LFC2IS baseline addresses the planning and the viewing of

operations.– We looked at the complete decision-action cycle of operations.

Usability

• Usability is define as the extent to which a product can be used by specified users to achieve specified goals with effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction in a specified context of use. (ISO 9241-11 1998)

• Usability is different than utility which is the ability of something to satisfy a need.

• The word usability arises in relation with the Human-Computer Interface studies.

• The interface of a program or of a web site can be useful because it performs the whole range of operations specified, but can be of low usability, for example, due to a high complexity that makes it difficult to be used efficiently for non-trained people.

Conclusion

• Develop a vision.

• Implement a method based on an adaptation of a software method.

• Build the project team with knowledgeable people (business, process and technology) with a common semantic.

• Do not forget that technology supports the users.

• Focus on user requirements and usability.

• Remember that software implementation is a continuous process.
