Module 2 - OFA 1 Role Definition and the Six Core Behaviors

An OFA 1 actively builds fluency in OFA vocabulary and in the standard processes used by their team:

• 1.How requirements are captured
• 2.How testing is coordinated
• 3.How issues are escalated

This is treated as ongoing work, not a one-time orientation task.

An OFA 1 helps capture and document requirements under the direction of another OFA or supervisor, without being expected to run the requirements process themselves:

• 1.Taking notes
• 2.Drafting sections
• 3.Asking clarifying questions

• 1.Primary Stewardship of OFA 1 — Accuracy and Findability of Assigned Artifacts:
• a.Meeting notes
• b.Action item trackers
• c.Similar working documents

• 1.An OFA 1 helps execute test cases.
• 2.They record results accurately.
• 3.They flag discrepancies to a more senior team member rather than resolving them independently.

An OFA 1 helps initiate the launch of fundamental, foundational-scope solutions once design and development are complete:

• 1.Confirming, under guidance, that what was actually built and tested matches what was documented as the requirement
• 2.Helping run basic launch-readiness checks
• 3.Helping communicate the launch clearly to the people it affects

• 4.This behavior connects the requirements work of Module 4 and the testing work of Module 7 to the point where a solution actually goes live.
• 5.Module 8 develops it in full.

• 1.An OFA 1 checks in regularly.
• 2.They ask before making judgment calls on ambiguous items.
• 3.They treat guidance-seeking as a sign of good judgment rather than a weakness.
• 4.This behavior is often the least understood of the six.
• 5.Module 9 is devoted entirely to building real skill in it.
