Discover Agile for Better Instructional Design
To serve business needs amid greater volatility and uncertainty in the
workplace, learning and development professionals need project
management methods that can keep up. Enter Agile.
Popular in the software development space as an approach to project
management, Agile when applied to instructional design provides a
framework for adapting to change as it happens and for delivering the
content most needed by learners. Agile for Instructional Designers
proposes using Agile methodology to manage training projects and
highlights where traditional linear processes have failed the business
and the end users.
Recognizing that software development and instructional design have
different needs and outcomes, author Megan Torrance developed the
LLAMA(TM) methodology. Her approach adapts the common phases of ADDIE to
incorporate the incremental, iterative nature of Agile projects. It
allows learners to test and evaluate which features or design functions
work before they're finalized. It also offers a way to accommodate
inevitable mid-project modifications pushed by stakeholders, subject
matter experts, or organizational leaders.
With templates for goal alignment, learner personas, scope definition,
estimating, planning, and iterative development, Agile for
Instructional Designers is the resource you need to embrace change in
learning and development.
