What are the obstacles?

What are the obstacles?•Technology Availability•Price•True Use Case Identification•Risk

14



So, what did we propose?• Technology Availability

• Only using commercially available products• Price

• Make sure hardware was something that departments or agencies could purchase

• True Use Case Identification• All use cases needed detailed stories and personas

created• Risk

• Research Project with Plans for Transition and Release Based on Outcomes
