Analysis grids

Analysis grids

Analysis grids are the central operational tool of the method.

They consist of exhaustive lists of points to be checked in order to assess the impact of the software on each dimension.

One grid corresponds to one dimension.

Analysis grids can be used independently of ISIDOR.

They are widely used as support in APIDOR.

Analysis grids are used to:

  • create interview guides for users (and possibly the IT team)
  • analyse the components themselves and the associated documentation.

See the description of the five method stages for more details.

The software ‘components’ to be analysed

The software will be analysed through three ‘components’ that are particularly representative of its impact on well-being and citizenship at work:

  • HMIs (Human-Machine Interfaces)
  • one or more dashboards integrated into the software or derived from it (supplemented by the data dictionary if available)
  • IT project management (the project that generated the software if it is recent, otherwise another project currently underway or carried out in the last two years).

Correspondence between dimensions and components

Each dimension is analysed primarily through one of these three components. However, it should be noted that all components can contribute to the analysis of the dimension.

 

  • The Social Dialogue, Democratic Debate and Citizenship dimension
    => is analysed mainly through IT project management.
  • The Information System, Digital Information System and Plurality of Representations dimension
    => is analysed mainly through dashboards (and the data dictionary).
  • The Management System and Decision-Making dimension
    => is analysed mainly through dashboards.
  • The Autonomy dimension
    => is analysed mainly through HMIs.
  • The Time and Organisational Learning dimension
    => is analysed mainly through IT project management.
