Section 4: Technical Approach

Nancy gets up and introduces the overall technical approach –ISD process across the top –Technical approach process/ procedures down the left side –Introduces Kim for a discussion of the tools and web portal approach Kim uses the same technical approach slide to transition to tools –Discusses tools through the Web Portal – EOMS and IDE

Technical Approach Overview

Tools

How SCORE TM Tools Support our Processes SCORE TM courseware development tools span the lifecycle of the courseware from the creation of Lesson Specifications and storyboards to online development, to customer review, and finally to manifestation and deployment.

SCORE TM Reviewer The SCORE TM Reviewer is accessible by the entire Navy / ASA team Common Courseware Engine SCORE TM Player

Courseware Development Environment and Process

EPOC On-line Management System (EOMS)

EPOC ASA Team Integrated Digital Environment (IDE) Team Collaboration Portal: Reference Library Messages White Board Capabilities Internal Team Discussions

Kim now brings Nancy back up again to discuss QA/CM through the Analysis/Preliminary Design phase.

Repeatable Processes

Configuration Management Process Our Configuration Management Process identifies 3 basic types of configuration themes: Each has its own specific sub- process for version management and control Documentation Media System

Quality Assurance Process

Analysis and Preliminary Design Process

Analysis Data Gathering Process

Analysis and Preliminary Design Milestones & Deliverables

One more transition – Nancy now hands off the brief to Kim to cover the rest of the technical approach through summary.
