Project Narrative
In writing the report keep in mind the goal of your project under this category which is to either develop comprehensive business cases for geo-enabling ten decision-making processes that are common across Federal programs or to produce a demonstration of integrated, geo-enabled decision-making across 3 to 5 businesses that serve a common goal within a given population.

Please include:
- Summary of project activities
- Key accomplishments to date
- How the project is enabling Federal program managers and associated organizations in the use of geospatial methods to improve business decision-making.

For the Common Geo-Enabled Business Cases project, please:
- Identify people with demonstrated expertise in supporting Federal geo-enabled business practices through their participation in the project.
- List web-based comprehensive business cases for geo-enabling ten decision-making processes that are common across Federal programs, including layman descriptions of the geography and analytics that apply to critical decisions, and supportive technical descriptions for program development of geo-analytic capacity aligned with the Geospatial Profile.
- Provide an electronic organization of geo-enabled business cases for cross-referencing common elements against base documents. The ten business cases will represent the potential for geo-enabling businesses in the Federal government, especially those that have not used geospatial techniques in the past.

For the Applied Cooperative Geo-Enabled Business Case project, please:
- Identify people with demonstrated expertise in supporting Federal geo-enabled business practices through their participation in the project.
- Describe multi-business integration of geo-enabled decision-making (3 to 5 businesses) that serves a common goal within a given population, including specific program effects and the estimated role of each business in one or more appropriate outcomes.
- List one or more cooperative scholarly publications that report on the project’s contributions to Federal program strategy (PDF file).
- A URL link to a web-based demonstration of the process and results of the project in terms of the affects of geo-enabling like businesses on common business decision-making.
