Questions and answers

What domains does Army Human Systems Integration cover?

HSI integrates and facilitates trade-offs among seven domains, listed below, but does not replace individual domain activities, responsibilities, or reporting channels. (paragraph 1-6)

When will HSI issues and risks be analyzed and managed?

To ensure HSI factors have the greatest positive impact on system design, HSI analysis and the management of risks will occur as part of experimentation, demonstration, and prototyping. (paragraph 1-6)

What must be documented during the capabilities requirements determination process?

HSI issues and concerns will be documented in appropriate program documentation and the ICDT minutes, and reports will provide an audit trail. (paragraph 2-25)

What is the Human Systems Integration Plan used for?

The HSIP is a tailored planning and management tool that documents the HSI tasks in support of technical program reviews (for example, preliminary design reviews, critical design reviews, engineering change proposals, and so forth), user concerns, and recommendations to resolve critical or major HSI issues. (paragraph 3-2)

What must the Human Systems Integration Plan track?
