9 Lesson 3: Don’t Underestimate the User. Generally field workers enjoy working with the hand held Non-technical users were able to successfully complete field operations using a hand held Usability evaluations and our Dress Rehearsal helped us isolate areas for usability improvement

10 Lesson 4: Automation Can’t Replace Interpersonal Communication. Daily in-field meetings between supervisors and workers are still needed –Resolve technical problems –Ensure quality and progress –Discuss intended work behavior

11 Lesson 5: Training Presents New Challenges and Opportunities. Training development dependent on software development Use of computer based training (CBT) Additional materials required for training sessions
