- Manage user input in the UCD development lifecycle and engage with Army HQ to ensure the supply of end users in accordance with processes, procedures, and timelines
- Provide HFI/UCD input to project management artefacts:

- project schedules, work breakdown structure
- Risk, Assumptions, Issues, Dependency & Opportunities (RAIDO)
- Progress reporting.
- Contribute to the development and execution of the HFI governance approach, covering:

- HFI design principles, design system, process, and product descriptor templates
- HFI strategies for evaluation and management (e.g., alarms/alerts)
- Organise, record, chair or attend HFI/UCD Working Groups and Steering Groups
