3-13 Research for Service Analysis

Sample Contents of a Transfer Package. The table of contents of a sample transfer package developed as part of the Research for Service Analysis for an FAA acquisition is provided below. Note that many of the included artifacts have important HF content based on the results of the Research for Service Analysis. Note, however, that the contents of the transfer package should be tailored to be consistent with the size, cost, and complexity of the solution being acquired (HF-STD-004A).

  • Tech Transfer Package Overview
  • Discussion Outcomes (The information in the Discussions Outcomes section was gathered from operational users and other stakeholders using Questionnaires, Focus Groups, Use Case Reviews, Human Factors Working Group (HFWG) / Working Group (WG) sessions, and Data Administration (DA) Working Group sessions. It included 25-30 briefings based on early UI mockups and associated feedback.)

One for ATC, one to support national management for standardization across facilities while allowing some customization by facility, and one for enterprise-wide system management, which had both National and local components. They were described in separate CONOPS.)
