Annex 3 – HF Techniques, Methods and Tools• Scenario analysis output is immediately useful, giving a sketch drawing ofthe design in action and also highlighting any problems that may beencountered.• Any number of scenarios can be evaluated, ranging from ‘normal’ to ‘worsecase’ scenarios.• Disadvantages• Scenarios are not very precise and many potential scenarios may bemissed or left out by the analysis team.• Could be time consuming for large scenarios.• To reap the full benefit of a scenario analysis, a multi-discipline team needsto be put together. This could prove quite difficult to achieve.A3.3.6Operational Scenario DescriptionThe purpose of Operational Scenario Description is to provide a description of aset of military activities and relevant events and features.This is achieved by deriving the operational scenarios from the missions for thesystem and then deciding on the use for which the operational scenario isrequired. The scenarios are then represented as operational sequencediagrams, time-lines or event lists with background contextual data (e.g. maps,routes, contacts, threats etc.) and a supporting narrative.Operational scenarios are required from Concept stage onwards and aredeveloped in parallel with subject matter experts (SMEs) are required to provideinformation about likely scenarios.• Advantages• Operational Scenario Description provides contextual information for use intask analysis and synthesis, role definition, job and team design.• Operational Scenario Description provides the operational context fordefining user performance criteria.• Operational Scenario Description provides events and time-lines for userperformance modelling, workload analysis, link analysis, health & safetyanalysis and human reliability analysis.• Operational Scenario Description provides information about real-worldevents and time-lines for use in user-equipment interface, workstation andworkspace design.• Operational Scenario Description provides scenario data for use in userequipmentand task-role prototyping.May 2006 Page A3-23 Issue 4
