Guess What!

Test your guessabililty! Imagine you’re learning a new software application your company is rolling out. Read what you hear. Then guess what your brain is thinking… This is a brain-based application systems training quiz.

Lunch? Somewhat said lunch?

I don’t want to learn more about this dialog! I already know I hate this dialog.

We’re doing agile, so each sprint we will be able to decide not to do anything about it. Now, let’s make sure you’ll remember these workarounds.” no=”1/1″ default=”no”]

 

Then why don’t we wait until this thing is actually working?

What if I typed bullshit? Look! It worked! It doesn’t matter what I type.

Seriously

Seriously, systems training on generic content, far away in time of the actual launch, no context, half-baked flow… If you can, create short, task-based demos relevant to roles that can be accessed on-demand. Best to use worked examples in a training or sandbox environment with a support line to ask questions. Don’t waste your time on step-by-step “show-me-try-me” clicks. By the time you build one, it’s outdated.
