This work in progress paper presents an initial evaluation of the observation protocol of the Team Resilience Assessment Method for Simulation (TRAMS) conducted in a crisis response simulation project. TRAMS isdesigned to assess the resilience of crisis response teams. The TRAMS observation protocol uses six coreresilience functions from the Systemic Resilience Model as its theoretical foundation. Three independentobservers used the protocol during a pilot study and six actual simulation games. Strategies relating to three outof six core resilience functions could be identified. The observations made were distributed similarly among theobservers, indicating that the components of the TRAMS protocol are stable enough to continue developing theprotocol. This study describes changes made to the protocol since the original design, and describes how thestrategies relating to the six core resilience functions can be identified in the simulation games.
