One requirement for major Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition programs is to develop a Human Systems Integration (HSI) plan early in the acquisition process to address a variety of human-related issues. One element of the HSI plan is the training plan. The training plan is a living document that is refined as the acquisition process moves forward. The purpose of this plan is to identify the high-level structure, staffing, and associated costs of the training system that is necessary to support the operation and maintenance of the hardware or software system being procured by Program. The most common method used to identify the training requirements is to conduct a formal Job Task Analysis (JTA) using the procedures specified by the lead procurement Service. The formal process may be very expensive and time consuming. The data obtained through the formal JTA process are more useful for making instructional design decisions than for making the training system design decisions that support cost determination in systems acquisition. The purpose of this paper is to present a simplified version of the more formal JTA process that is oriented towards program management issues, and produces the kind of information that is required to estimate the life-cycle training costs for the new or modified hardware or software system.
