need information as you embark on a
training project

the request itself
the business need underlying the
project
the desired performance
the tasks
the learners and the influences on
them
ISSUE 1. RESTATE AND CLARIFY THE REQUEST
The first step in analyzing the needs underlying
a request to develop a course is restating the
request. When restating the training request,
use the exact words that the sponsor has used.
Starting the project by using the exact same
ISSUE 2. IDENTIFY THE BUSINESS NEED
UNDERLYING THE REQUEST
Begin each course by identifying the
business goal before you have even
determined which content to include.
In practical terms, this means that a training
program is most likely to have impact if it
addresses a revenue or cost problem that

The difference between current
performance and the ideal performance
is called the
performance gap.

training bridges the performance gap.

ISSUE 4. IDENTIFY THE TASKS IN DESIRED
PERFORMANCE
identify the specific process (or processes) that learners
must follow to achieve ideal performance.
The tasks fall into three categories:
Psychomotor tasks are those performed by hand or
some other physical activity.
Cognitive tasks are performed mentally, such as
choosing the right model of computer to meet a
customer's needs or matching symptoms with a
diagnosis.
Attitudinal, or
affective,
tasks are associated with
ISSUE 5. DESCRIBE THE LEARNERS AND THE
INFLUENCES ON THEM
To design training so that it will be able to close a performance
gap, it is necessary to collect a variety of information about
the learners, including the following :
Demographic data:
This category of information includes items
such as job title, length of experience, assumed knowledge,
sex (if relevant), language skills (if relevant), cultural
affiliations (if appropriate), and similar information.
Previous knowledge:
If learners have previous experience with
the subject matter of the proposed course or with related
material, describe it.
Influences affecting the learners:
Some influences may come
ISSUE 6. IDENTIFY CONSTRAINTS ON THE
PROJECT
Product Constraints.
These constraints affect what
you can present and how you can present it.
Software/Technical Constraints.
Sometimes, you
must also use certain software (called authoring tools)
to create courses because your organization already
owns licenses for certain software or because a sponsor
requested its use.
Business Constraints.
The third set of constraints for
your consideration.
PRODUCT CONSTRAINTS
Course structure:
Sometimes organizations establish a
standard structure for certain types of courses.
Editorial guidelines:
Also called style guidelines, these
constraints affect the use of terminology, punctuation, and
grammar.
Design guidelines:
These constraints affect the design of
slides and workbooks. Most corporations want a "family
look" to everything they publish, so that material produced
by many different groups within a company looks similar.
Other standards and guidelines:
In some cases, your

communication strategies within the organization:
Do people
communicate directly and, if so, what are the channels, or do
they communicate indirectly, and if so, how?
attitude toward the subject matter:
Does the organization
embrace it or will people avoid it? Be honest, even though the
sponsor will tell you that everyone welcomes the content.
project history:
Is the organization notorious for last-minute
changes? If so, be prepared because it will happen again.

FOUR METHODS OF UNCOVERING NEEDS
1. Talk, Conduct formal interviews with as many people who have information
to share as possible. Typically, these people include stakeholders, such as the sponsor, SMEs, and prospective learners.
2. Focus Groups, Focus groups are a special type of interview, in which you
interview eight to 12 demographically similar people at a single time. The focus group usually lasts two hours and can cover between three and five questions.
3. Experience,One of the ways to learn about a subject is to experience it.
An efficient way of doing so is by following people through their daily routines from the start of the workday until the end. This method is called "A Day in the Life" because it literally follows a day in the life of a worker.
4. Read, In many cases, you do not need to conduct new research to uncover
the information needed to start a training project—you merely need to find existing research. Therefore, one of the most valuable sources of content is the documents already available about the situation. Read anything that might provide useful insights into the content or the learners: reports, plans, policies, user's guides, memos and other correspondence, trade magazines,
