Clear description of results from Stage M Add a Tooltip Text and Steps 1, 2, 3 of Stage A A = Act has to be prepared.
The developed results should be checked for consistency and coordinated. The consensus among members of working team should be attained for results within Step 4.
Method
The fourth step of Stage A A = Act
synthesizes the output of the forecast based on the elaborated results of the previous steps. The main task is to integrate the outcomes of the previous activities, check their consistency and identify the main features (traits) of the STF for the defined time horizon in specified location.
Instructions
- Examine the outcomes of Step 5 in Stage M and Steps 1-3 in Stage A.
- Distinguish between compliant, complementary and conflicting features of the STF:
- compliant features are those emerging as plausible future traits of the STFSTF = System to be forecasted according to two or more steps of performed study;
- complementary features are those identified within one step of performed study, and they are not in conflict with any other statement provided by the others;
- conflicting features are those that derive from opposite conclusions drawn from any pair of performed steps.
- Check measurability and assign measurement units for elaborated traits. Reformulate or regroup features for new traits, if necessary from measurability viewpoint.
- Check consistency of formulated traits with time horizon and specified location of future STFSTF = System to be forecasted .
