Triad-based data collection programs can generate literally thousands of data points a day. A well-planned Triad field activity will leverage this data to produce a final characterization or remediation result that is more efficient and effective than the traditional alternative. A poorly-planned Triad field activity can become chaotic in response to information overload. In this situation, there is the opportunity for making incorrect decisions or for work slow downs, and much of the benefit of the Triad approach may be lost. Effective communication and organization are critical key elements of Triad work activities. The details will vary from site to site and activity to activity, but in general a well-planned Triad work effort will include at minimum a description of data to be generated, formats that are expected, how that data will flow, what QA/QC must be applied, how data will be organized and depicted, which decisions it will feed, and who has responsibility for data at each step of the way. Critical path analyses can be useful for debugging decision-making strategies and work-flow elements that depend on real-time data. Readiness reviews, including "dry runs" with dummy data sets, are useful for demonstrating work plan adequacy. The ability to quickly generate daily field maps of results is important. Secure project web sites can be a very effective means for disseminating project-critical information in "real-time" to project technical staff, project management, and regulators.
