The annual PrIME project activity cycle includes a meeting with each sponsor, along with a practitioner workshop.

In addition, in each project year, the PrIME project will produce and share with sponsoring organizations case study results, pilot results, survey results, training materials, a guidebook that will be updated annually with new practices and insights, and other publications.

• In the first year, the PrIME project will focus on strategy, decision tools, and selection of technology combinations for study.
• In the second year, the project will turn to technology decision guidance, technology composition, and appraisal guidance.
• In the third year, PrIME will address process architecture, technology design, and scalability.
