Framework Development

Keys issues considered to reflect industry perspective

• Development Tool

  Authoring tools and other more complex tools - offer visually based high productivity development, codeless or high level scripting language
  

• Delivery Platform

  Platform dictates media format and optimization required - CD-I must conform to PAL or NTSC
  

• Content Development

  Media content labor intensive, but difficult to quantify - depends on media mix, the number of components, and complexity of each.
  
  Artistic considerations play role in satisfactory completion

• Organizational Capability

  Indirect effect - size, personnel mix etc
  

• Personnel

  Wide variety of skills required in successful MSS development - some believe core members are a producer, programmer(s), and graphic artist(s)
