Project Training Plan
Different types of training are an integral part of many information technology projects. Begin by identifying your audience or who needs what training. Identifying your audience will many times dictate the training content and delivery method, e.g., training the project system administrators often means few students, very technical content, and delivered on-site by the vendor as an instructor-led class. Estimates for the other training requirements can come from project stakeholders. See the project training "Checklist" (worksheet/tab) for other ideas and examples, and for detailed planning. Be sure to read the instructions and definitions page of the workbook for guidance.
