Hi,
I am on a project at client that is using agile (or iterative)
development for the first time. I am the PM of the training stream.
Traditionally, we have had detailed design documents or a somewhat
completed system to document business processes on and then develop
the end user training courseware.
With this project, many components of the system are still in the
design phase with much back and forth between the vendor and the
client re design, look and feel, functionality, etc. Unfortunately,
we have over 500 end users of the new system that we have to train
prior to launch. Due to our training through put capacity, we need to
start training about 8 weeks prior to system go live in order to get
every user trained. The project schedule doesn't have many of the
system's components completing until well after training starts.
I am trying to find out how companies that use agile development
methodologies handle the training for the system’s end users. How do
you train end users on a system that may be not yet be finalized but
training has to start?
If you could point me to any info on this issue, I would appreciate
it.
Thanks,
Jeff Meyer
