2 Findings Renewal Project Reviews A comprehensive review of the 29 Renewal projects listed in Table ES.1 was performed in the R31 study, leading to the development of 3- to 5-page expanded summaries for each project. Table ES.1.

5 The established user needs and user needs categories were incorporated into a detailed integration/packaging matrix that can provide an effective and practical mechanism for product integration. Table ES.2 shows an example cut-out of the integration/packaging matrix developed for the functional/technical-level application.

It helps users discover relationships between products and identify ways in which they might complement each other to the benefit of the agency.

The concept of integrated implementation of Renewal products and the development of a software tool for identifying products for complementary use is viewed as very appealing, but very challenging.
