| The purpose of a Front End Analysis (FEA) is | To establish a defendable and repeatable process to determine the best training and media delivery methods to satisfy training requirements that exist from a new training requirement, or identify a training gap in an existing course. |
| When is a Front End Analysis (FEA) performed | Typically performed after the JDTA has been conducted |
| The triggers of a Front End Analysis (FEA) is | Revision to a Fleet Requirement, Revision to an enlisted Occupational Standard (OCCSTDS), A new system not addressed in the Acquisition Process, Fleet Feedback, Formal Course Review, Establishment/Disestablishment or Revision of a NEC, Rating Merger, As directed by the Curriculum Control Authority (CCA) and Human Performance Requirements Review (HPRR) |
| The Front End Analysis (FEA) template consists of | Requesting Authority, Requesting Command, Start and End Dates, Reason, documents from existing course (CTTL/PPP/TCCD/JDTA), New Training Requirements, Gaps in Training, FEA of Existing Course Materials, FEA of Training Delivery Methods, FEA of Recommendations Information, FEA Output Statement Information. |
| Who determines what curriculum development model will be used for | Curriculum Control Authority. |
| The approval process of the finalized Front End Analysis (FEA) consists of. | Prior to routing the FEA to the CCA, for approval, send the FEA Approval Request to the Requirements Sponsor, and receive the Requirements Sponsor Approval for concurrence and attach both documents to the FEA. |
| The purpose of a Business Case Analysis (BCA) is | a structured methodology to facilitate its decision-making process. It is a continuousprocess from conception of an alternative or solution to implementation. |
| the purpose of the executive summary of a Business Case Analysis (BCA) is | To provide a concise summary of the key highlights of the business case. The reader should be able to understand what the project is about, the role of the project in the department’s plan/direction, and the business justification of the project as well as how it will improve the overall efficiency and/or effectiveness of the government. |
| How is strategic alignment is important in a purpose of a Business Case Analysis (BCA) | It provides the reader with an understanding of how the initiative aligns with the overall business plan of the Navy and how it may impact other initiatives. It identifies the level of impact (high, medium, low) the initiative has on achieving its goals. |
| In a Business Case Analysis (BCA) what analysis of alternatives does | Provides the reader with an outline of the realm of possibilities that are available to address the problem or opportunity. Secondly, it provides the reader with rationale to why some have been eliminated as viable alternatives. Finally, it provides a detailed description of viable options (including a ―do-nothing‖ option) that should be discussed. |
| What is risk assessment in decision making of a Business Case Analysis (BCA) | Provides the reader with an understanding of the risks related to the initiative and how risks vary by viable alternative. Must be performed as a component of the BCA. It assigns an estimate of the risk to likely outcomes of alternatives and includes a risk mitigation strategy for each risk. |
| How does how cost benefit impacts a Business Case Analysis (BCA) | Insures the reader can easily understand and compare the initial and on-going expenditures to the expected financial and non-financial benefits (tangible and intangible) for each viable alternative. |
| The final stages of a Business Case Analysis (BCA) are | Conclusions and recommendations, Implementation Strategy and Review and approval |
| Conclusions and recommendations in a Business Case Analysis (BCA) is | To provide the reader with a selected alternative based on an overall evaluation of the alternatives in terms of impact, risk and cost/benefit. Specific recommendations for moving a project forward are also presented. |
| Implementation Strategy in a Business Case Analysis (BCA) is | To ensure that those approving the business case understand the resources they must allocate (people, dollars, time) to complete the recommended next steps of the initiative. Includes: Major phases, High-level work plan/deliverables/target dates for completion, Costs, Personnel, assignment of responsibilities for risk mitigation. |
| Review and approval in a Business Case Analysis (BCA) | Clearly presents the reader with whom and how the business case has been resolved and approved. Also contains the final outcome of the business case – if approved, the evidence of approval is included; if not approved, documentation of the decision is provided. |
| What is the purpose of a Training Project Plan (TPP)? | describes all training and training support elements required to provide trained personnel to operate and maintain systems or equipments, or perform tasks and functions. It provides a Plan of Actions and Milestones (POA&M) to achieve a predetermined implementation date. A TPP describes all the factors necessary to prepare and conduct a successful training program and attain optimum use of personnel, hardware, and funds. The course revision or development described in the TPP should meet, and not exceed, the training requirement. |
| Who has initial approval authority of a Training Project Plan (TPP) | The Curriculum Control Authority (CCA). |
| Who approves implementation of a Training Project Plan (TPP) submitted to NETC per triggered event with zero sum gain | NETC N7. approves TPP implementation not requiring offsets. |
| Who approves implementation of a Training Project Plan (TPP) submitted to NETC requiring additional resources or offsets | OPNAV approves TPP implementation requiring offsets. |
| The contents of a Training Project Plan (TPP) consists of | Curriculum Control Authority (CCA) TPP endorsement letter, Cover page, Course data, Justification, Safety Risks and Hazardous materials, Curriculum development method, Resource requirements, Compensation and Milestones |
| The application SERENA is a | web-based application which allows Learning Centers to upload, maintain, and Manage Training Project Plans (TPP). It also allows the flow of a TPP from initial submission to final approval or suspense of the TPP. |
| What type of Training Project Plan (TPPs) is housed in SERENA? | All Learning Center TPPs, new, revised, modified, and deactivated. SERENA has the Capability to archive and provide a suspense location for TPPs requiring offsets and the Resource sponsor has not been identified. |
| How are Training Project Plan (TPPs) identified and maintained in SERENA? | TPPs are not serialized by Learning Center. Each TPP is serialized by number with the first available number in the system. However, TPPS are separated by separated by Learning Center for ease of retrieval. |
