  1. Purpose:
    • To survey and record the perceived unique and critical factors that impacts the utilization and expansion of interfaces within the agency.
    • To search out factors that may pose limitations or restrictions to projected or planned growth relative to interfaces within the agency
    • If unique factors are found to exist that pose restrictions or limitations on the agency, this documentation will serve to direct strategy planning to address the problem.
    • This information will be utilized in formulation of a strategy plan for CSE as a summary of potential unique factors to be considered in the information technology process.
  2. Instructions:
    • Complete the following questions for each interface process within the CSE organization.
    • Because various technical individuals polled may have different perceptions about the "uniqueness" of the factors, it is recommended that several individuals be polled to determine a consensus opinion with respect to the unique factors.
    • Questions to be considered in determining if your technical organization has unique factors that may restrict or limit the projected or planned growth relative to interfaces within the agency:
  3. Is there any current consideration of merging or separating of the CSE organization?
  4. Is there any current consideration or plans for significant expansion of workers through privatization?
  5. Is there any current or planned consideration for mass replacement of technology equipment?
  6. Is there any current or planed consideration for replacement of hardware systems or software applications systems?
  7. Is there any significant factors related to experienced personnel to support the CSE system?
  8. Is there an acute shortage of experienced personnel to support the CSE system?
  9. Is there a moratorium on expansion of systems?
  10. Is there a moratorium on expansion of support personnel for systems?
