The Journey Begins - A Project Timeline

The journey has begun.  I've created a website to add visual documentation of my work.  I've started conversations with my supervisor about expectations and desired outcomes.  Part of these planning conversations included the development of a project plan.  Every good project plan has a timeline to promote accountability and to allow for progress monitoring. It was also important to allow for ample time for customer input, socialization, and edits.

To make sure my soft skills curriculum has progressed through to the Develop Phase of the ADDIE Instructional Design Model by May 1, I  have set the following deadlines:

• Week of January 22 - Audience Profiles 
• Week of January 29 - Customer Design Specification 
• Week of February 5 - Research and early design suggestions to customer for approval 
• Week of February 19- Content outline complete and to customer for approval 
• Week of February 26 - Tier 1 content and assessments identified and organized 
• Week of March 12 - Tier 2 content and assessments identified and organized 
• Week of April 2 - Tier 3 content and assessments identified and organized 
• Week of April 23 - Developed content to customer for approval 
• Week of April 30 - Edits and final approval

Check back next week to review my progress on evaluating my audience.
