Methodology
Develop training in parallel to the product. For best results, do not launch until training is complete.
• Analyze – align with existing org goals
• Design – get sign off before development
• Develop – validate custom apps and integration
• Implement – practice, deliver, repeat
• Evaluate – build a self-sustaining community

Analyze
You are gathering data the project team can use. Become an advisor to IT and an advocate for the users.
• Read the project documentation
• Interview BAs – any other changes happening?
• How are they learning new processes now?
• Learn the tech they are currently using
• Create a focus group of early tech adopters

Investigate your audience
Social NetworkingBusiness Development
Analyze
Only teach when the students are motivated and incented to learn.
• Talk to HR – workforce planning assessments
• Target job titles and friends – not departments
• Think about SharePoint and AD security groups
• Focus on cross-functional business processes
• What’s their motivation to change?

Develop
Don’t just teach SharePoint. Use SharePoint as one tool in the overall process.
• Start with the use cases and OOTB help files
• Reinforce what success looks like (3 things)
• Script the presenter – use humor
• Host a dry run with the focus group
• Use good titles – not software levels

Sample Scenarios

Demo-only sessions create demand for hands-on learning. Show them how you want them to use the product.
• Improving team communications: How to eliminate your weekly status meeting
• Working from home: How to prove that you’re more productive out of the office
• Search that works: Finding the people and information you need right now

Re-use information from audience investigation.

• 90-minute lunch – for the instructor!
• How many classes will it take to get everyone trained?
• ‘By invitation only’ creates demand

Evaluate
Make sure you can prove that you provided enough value to justify class attendance.
1. Costs $37/hour per employee just for them to attend
2. You’ll receive more feedback if you use paper evals or real-time polls
3. Develop new content based on this feedback
