Areas of focus are the ability of product(s) to address: 1) strategic linkages between organizational objectives and improvement projects, 2) organization management via a strategic value hierarchy, 3) executive visibility of status, ben efits, risks, savings and top-down driven metrics, 4) manageable and configurable templates based on best practice methodologies (.e.g Lean Six Sigma, Project Management, Change Management), 5) ability to set and track metrics for both financial and operat ional factors that portray our enterprise key performance indicators to effectively measure outcomes, 6) role based division of labor that allows leaders the ability to define what information is accessible to specific users, 7) project management tools th at enable milestone review upon creation of project charters and templates, 8) ability to collect, rank prioritize improvement projects based on risk, reward, importance, and strategic value, 9) sharing of ideas, best practices, issues, online discussion, knowledge management, lessons learned, 10) document management and risk management, 11) scalability, 12) training management, 13) user and administrator tool training, 14) timeline and resources required to implement tool onto DoD networks, and 15) hardw are and software infrastructure required to operate tool in test, development, production, and recovery conditions, 16) help desk / customer service approaches.

The Governments objective is to pursue more efficient and cost effective use of web-based tools to support the LSS Program Office.
