Phase 1 - Analysis

The analysis phase of ISD consists of a three-step, front end analysis (FEA). This initiating phase forms the foundation of a training program. Human Factors skills are especially applicable at this point. The FEA should be conducted as part of, or in parallel, with the Human Factors tasks performed as part of Systems Engineering during system development. If Human Factors engineering has been applied to develop easy-to-use, human-to-system interfaces and procedures, then training will be easy-to-design, develop, and conduct.

"Design A" has a higher Human-Centered Design content than "Design B" and yields greater training efficiency and higher job performance.
