The ADDIE process is past its prime. It was developed long before Agile
and other iterative processes that have introduced greater efficiencies
in design and development, fostered more creativity, and addressed
effective stakeholder involvement. Leaving ADDIE for SAM introduces two
new concepts--SAM, the Successive Approximation Model, and the Savvy
Start. Together, they incorporate contemporary design and development
processes that simplify instructional design and development, yielding
more energetic and effective learning experiences. This book is a
must-read for all learning professionals who have a desire to let go of
outdated methodologies and start creating better, faster training
products today.
