Training for adoption: connect learning to the work people do
Useful training prepares people for tasks, decisions, and responsibilities in their changed environment.
Start with roles and tasks
Business users, administrators, and developers need different knowledge. Define the tasks each group should be able to perform after the training and identify their starting level.
Practice in a relevant environment
Use guided exercises that reflect the workflow, with sanitized examples and appropriate access. Give participants room to ask questions about the work they will actually do.
Connect training to the change timeline
Preparation before a migration or release helps people understand what is changing. Knowledge transfer during handover connects the solution to its operating responsibilities.
Leave useful reference material
Provide agreed guides, exercises, and operating documentation. Evaluate learning through practical tasks and the questions people can resolve.
