One of the biggest myths in the L&D world is that “we must train workers.” Workers are inherently learners. If they are not, we would see massive job failures. In fact, workers are also relentless learners. They fix, solve and improve work issues every minute of their work day.

The challenge however, is that many of our L&D tools and methods are so arcane that we spend lots of money, time and resources on “telling workers what to do” instead of helping them to “learn better while they are doing work.”

Learn to:

• Differentiate “instruction learning” from “worker’s relentless learning” while in the workflow.
• Understand how to support workers in the workflow, but not insisting that they follow our instructions.
• Follow the “workflow learning” methods that are already built into the methods of productive work.
• Extend your formal learning instructions to commence, merge and intersect with “workflow demands.”
• Obtain reusable templates on Workflow Learning Design.

Ray’s goal is to support their natural skills and appetite for workflow learning.

Microsoft Project can be turned into an estimating tool with continuously improving data. You can copy these features from a schedule template found here, for instance.

Making schedules for specific projects from a template provides consistent schedule structure and vocabulary, accumulating lessons learned, and estimating data.

The features enable two techniques:

1. Analogous estimating, which is scaling parts of a schedule or an entire project estimate, &
2. Parametric estimating, which is scaling the number of items a detail tasks produces.

The download template also illustrates:

1. How to include a risk reserve and estimating uncertainty buffer &
2. How to produce an Excel report with tabs for tasks recently completed, underway, and coming soon (Kanban).
