Lessons Learned ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation • Analysis Is Full-Time Job • Coming In Two-Weeks Every Other Month • Need To Update Database – Current Intel Information • This Takes Too Much Of Available Analysis Time • Intel Updates Should Be Implemented Immediately • Analysis Requires Model Expertise • Knowledge Of Inner Workings Of The Model • This Does Not Need To Be R&A, • Still How To Impart This Information
Lessons Learned ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation • Need Off Cycle Work Habits • Setup Runs – Go Away • Cannot Afford To Come Back On Monday Morning • Find Model Crash Or An Issue Happened On Saturday • Need Better Drawing Tools • Besides “Pretty” Graphs and Charts • Map Annotation Mandatory • Could Use “Fake” Icon Placement On Map
