3. City, year - - HarmoniQuA MoST3 The Capabilities of HarmoniQuA MoST  Enables set-up of a multidisciplinary model-based project for water management  Facilitates fine-tuning of modelling process definition by skipping irrelevant tasks from templates  Monitors the work of modelling teams  Facilitates reporting for specific audiences  Advises using experience from previous modelling projects

4. City, year - - HarmoniQuA MoST4 How to use HarmoniQuA MoST (1)  Project administrator defines a project in terms of:  Subproject, disciplines / domains (GW, HD, PR, FF, WQ, BI, SE)  Tasks of the model project  Users and their roles (Water manager, modeller, auditor, stakeholder, public)  Authorisation of users  Etc.  Start project

5. City, year - - HarmoniQuA MoST5 How to use HarmoniQuA MoST (2)  Client –server, with  Server application stored on a central server (LAN, Internet)  Client application (= MoST) on a local PC  Users undertake a task within their ‘role’ by  Starting it  Doing one or more activities (or skipping them)  Several users can conduct an activity simultaneously  Doing an activity involves describing it, (automatically) fill-in start/end dates, selecting methods, attaching files to the activity, making decisions, etc.

10. City, year - - HarmoniQuA MoST10 MoST = methodology?  MoST:  Guides modelling teams through a network of tasks  Knowledge base with guidelines:  Collected and improved by experienced modellers  Discussed with many others  Therefore shared by substantial parts of the professional community  Monitors the work of modelling teams and allows  Auditing (with scoreboards)  Reconstructing model projects  Provides a conceptual framework for multidisciplinary modelling  Is MoST a methodology?  yes !

11. City, year - - HarmoniQuA MoST11 Effectiveness / efficiency  Some opinions / prejudices:  It’s too cumbersome  Too prescriptive  Inefficient  Too rigid, a straightjacket  Too complex  Is this true? Find out yourselves !

12. City, year - - HarmoniQuA MoST12 Conclusions  Complex, but easy to learn  Flexible  Guiding, but not forcing  Training material aims at flattening the steep learning curve  Hands-on experience is MoST persuading to use it
