ABSTRACT
An increased use of teams of actors within complex systems has led to the emergence of various approaches for the assessment of different features associated with team performance. Teamwork refers to those instances where actors within a team or network co-ordinate their behaviour in order to achieve tasks related to the team's goals. The training time for the Co-ordination Demands Analysis method is minimal, requiring only that the Subject Matter Experts used understand each of the behaviours specified in the teamwork taxonomy and also the rating procedure. Groupware Task Analysis analysis is a team task analysis method and so is related to Communications Usage Diagrams, Social Network Analysis and team task analysis. Team Cognitive Task Analysis uses semistructured interviews and pre-defined probes to elicit data regarding the cognitive aspects of team performance and decision making. The questionnaires are typically administered post-trial. The team should be instructed to perform the task under analysis as normal.
