Purpose/background: / [[Describe why the project was initiated, the business need it’s intended to fulfill, and the scope of the work involved. For example: Diane Cooper, VP of HR, requested the Learning Services team take on this project. The project’s purpose is to transform portions of the existing new-hire orientation from ILT to online. About two-thirds of the current ILT course will be retooled and redesigned to be deployed as e-learning.]]

Project Deliverables:
Components of this project: / [[Describe the instructional products to be developed. For example:
  • A narrated, animated online course, estimated to be about 20 minutes long.

  • A printable job aid describing how to use the online company benefits site.]]

Out-of-scope work: / [[Clarify any related items that are not part of this project. If possible, describe who’s responsible for creating or supplying these items. For example: LMS testing is outside of the scope of this agreement. This task will be covered by the Learning Technology group during the pilot phase of this project, using the pilot version of the course and course completion data from pilot trainees.]]
Possible constraints: / [[State any anticipated constraints that might impact the ability to successfully complete this project. For example: Several on-site videos will be created as part of this course. Video shoots will be scheduled at the convenience of Plant 72. If the shoots can’t be scheduled within a reasonable timeframe without affecting the plant’s manufacturing schedule, target dates in this agreement may need to be revised.]]
