Description

This software supported scenario-based exercise assesses the experience and preparedness of an integrated baseline review (IBR) team by providing real-life challenges within a structured virtual environment. Ultimately, the simulation activities combined with facilitator debriefing sessions reinforce the need to adequately prepare the IBR team. This eight-hour simulation can be made available to IBR teams in the classroom or as a synchronous, distributed solution via the Internet. Based on the experiential learning model, whereby individuals make meaning from direct experiences, the program reveals the degree of a team’s technical IBR readiness, as well as the ability of the team to work together to solve problems.

Objectives

Synthesize the planning, organizing and preparation of an IBR

Underscore the importance of committing the appropriate amount of time and resources to plan an IBR event

Foster the development of teamwork, critical thinking, and decision-making/problem solving competences within the content-specific realm of an IBR

Act as an assessment tool for program teams to discover IBR-related skills and abilities that may be weak or lacking

Target Attendees

The IBR simulation is envisioned to be offered to IBR teams shortly after contract award.
