Milestones Initiation and Governance Planning Performance Measures Analyze Information Exchange Standards Architecture Infrastructure Applications Interfaces

Initiate the Process and Develop a Governance Structure Is there a common understanding of integration among key policy leaders, and a commitment to pursue it? Is there a decision-making structure in place to which everyone has agreed?

Continue Planning Is a strategic plan for the effort in place? Mission Goals and Objectives Technology Assessment Evaluation of Available Technology Review of Best Practices Business Process Review

Develop and Use Performance Measures Can performance in accomplishing goals and objectives be demonstrated quantitatively?

Analyze Information Exchange Have existing information exchanges been documented and analyzed? Have automated information exchanges been designed?

Adopt or Develop Standards Are justice agencies using common, shared tables for key data? Are operational and technical experts monitoring efforts to develop standards at the national level?

Create a Sound Integration Architecture Is there agreement at the conceptual level among justice agencies concerning the model of integration that will be adopted?

Develop the Infrastructure Have adequate communications networks and computing and application development environments been established?

Improve Agency and Organization Applications Do justice organizations operate case and records management applications that are compatible with the chosen integration architecture? Are all relevant agencies able to connect their applications to the integration infrastructure?

Establish Interfaces Are justice organizations able to pass information electronically between applications? Query and Response Application to Application Subscription and Notification
