Training can be end-user focused or to help train consultants
Tips on Training:
Know your user personas and teach them how to use the software in the way that’s best for them
When delivering initial system training, don’t teach several ways to do something – pick the best way for that job role and train on that method
Identify the influencers who will be impactful to others on the project and work to alleviate their concerns or promote the positives
Identify the person who will be your champion and find something that will make them happy
