Questions and answers

What does ATP 5-0.3 require for assessment indicators?

The indicators must be relevant, able to be resourced, collectible, and reported by some established means. (paragraph 5)

What can happen when critical indicators cannot be collected?

Indicators that are critical to the discernment of progress or efficiency that cannot be collected for any reason may result in added operational risk. (paragraph 5)

How many bins are normally used for a single objective?

Break the possible states into natural breaks, normally three to seven bins for a single objective. (paragraph 3)

How must each assessment bin be described?

Each bin is described in at least a paragraph, in sufficient detail so there is no question as to which bin a scenario belongs. (paragraph 4)

What must working groups do to prevent constructive credit?

Two important disruptions frequently occur; working groups must design bins to prevent constructive credit for task accomplishment rather than effect accomplishment, and accountability for rating the IMO must remain with the working group. (paragraph 6)
