Pilots & Longer-Term Plans • During development, piloting, proof-of-concept phase more than 450 plans rendered in StratML format • Five different authoring tools used thus far • Several value-added service prototypes developed • Part 3 will address optional extensions to Parts 1 & 2, such as: • Relationships among elements across plans • Geospatial references • SWOT & PEST analyses • Critical Success Factors (CSFs) • Programs & Projects
