Prepare for Hard Work Ahead (1st 6 Months)– Integrate On-going Activities– Establish Organization Structure/Contacts – Planning for Business Requirements Analysis– Systems Approach/Classification Systems– Information Gathering
Business Requirements Analysis (FY2001)

General Reactions
Support National Leadership and Actions IdentifiedCommend FS for Taking on…We Need to do This in my AgencyLooking Forward to Results, On the Right Track Support Action Plan, but Concerned About 8 Specific Areas

Changes to Action Plan
Segue From Framework to Action Plan– Stress Relationship to Framework– Describe Business Engineering Model– Discuss Expected Results of Implementation
• System-Based vs. Issue-Based Methods• “Nested” Protocols at Various Scales• Shift to Mid-Scale Inventories
![Page 10: Inventory and Monitoring Issue Team Action Plan](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051522/5878911f1a28ab10328b547e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Changes to Action Plan
Target Audience– Will Keep Action Plan at ESCT/IREMCG Level
• Major Actions• Outcome Focus
– Will Use Working Group “Assignments” to Capture Operational Details and Relationships
![Page 11: Inventory and Monitoring Issue Team Action Plan](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051522/5878911f1a28ab10328b547e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Changes to Action Plan
Organization Structure– Increased Priority on Organization Actions
• Build from Experience In FIA/FHM/NRIS• Formalize Contact Network/Roles• Ensure I&M Advice and Assistance is Available to Field
Units (R&D, IMI, Engineering Technical Centers)
![Page 12: Inventory and Monitoring Issue Team Action Plan](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051522/5878911f1a28ab10328b547e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Changes to Action Plan
Business Requirements and Protocol Development– Strengthen Field-level Input/Ownership– Exploit Work from FIA/NRIS/FHM– Drop National/Regional Phased Approach
Program/Budget Actions– Clarify Program Management Actions– Strengthen Links to Budget Allocation
![Page 13: Inventory and Monitoring Issue Team Action Plan](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051522/5878911f1a28ab10328b547e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Help Needed
Director/DRF Support and Commitment– Cultural Change Demands Leadership Involvement– Identify R/S/A Staff Director-Level Contact
Support IMIT Action Plan Funding Request– Funds Requested For Contractor/Task Groups– Spans FY2001-2003 @ $670,000/year– NFIM, SPFH, FRRE Funding Mix

Help Needed
People for IMIT/Working Groups– Must have Field Participation for Ownership – Using Ad hoc Process Like SDIT and Others– Next Option is to Establish Organization to do…– Secure Regulatory Agency Participation
Tie On-Going Actions to IM Framework– Wilderness Business Requirements - Monitoring– Cohesive Fire Strategy – Assessments

Major Comments
…Linkages to NRIS– NRIS Viewed as Standardization Method– Linkages Unclear
…Level of Detail– Need More Detail to Better Understand– Too Complex, Need Less Detail
