Mission-Oriented Success Analysis and Improvement Criteria (MOSAIC) Overview
Managing for Success
The SEI Mission-Oriented Success Analysis and Improvement Criteria (MOSAIC) provides a suite of advanced risk analysis tools for assessing complex processes and programs. With this toolset, you can determine the potential for success based on an analysis of current conditions. Using SEI MOSAIC approach you can:
- determine objectives
- define what constitutes success
- forecast the potential for success
- measure health status at any given point in time
- develop strategies to keep from failing
These tools are designed to analyze complex organizational and technological issues that are well beyond the capabilities of most traditional analysis approaches. Thus, SEI MOSAIC is well-suited for use in a variety of complex environments, such as
- large, distributed software development programs
- organizations in dynamic, rapidly changing business environments
- organizations with strict reliability, security, and safety requirements
- large, distributed supply chains
- processes supporting critical infrastructures
- distributed information-technology (IT) processes
In contrast to most traditional process and risk analysis approaches, the SEI MOSAIC considers a broad range of conditions and events that can affect the potential for success. By considering such a diverse set of factors, it becomes easier to strategically allocate limited resources where and when they are needed the most.
