Cognitive Work Analysis (CWA) is gaining momentum for analyzing complex socio-technical systems but it does not yet have the specific tools and techniques that allow it to address teamwork explicitly enough to provide good guidance on how to support teams. This paper focuses on expansion of control task analysis (ConTA), the second phase of CWA, to understand the collaborative decision making of a surgical team during Cesarean section surgery.
