Consulting Questions for
Client Meeting
Performance Analysis
Worksheet (PAW)
This document contains eight
questions that the ID can ask
when meeting with a client to
create a new program or
update an existing one. It
asks questions regarding:
 Business need
 Why the course is
important
 Target audience
 Relation to SP2020
Strategic Plan
 Metrics
 Functionality
 Reviewers
 Timeline
This worksheet should be filled
out after meeting with a client
or SME. It tracks:
 Factors for identifying the
performance problem
 Identifying business need
and measures
 Target audience and
characteristics
 Testing
 Due Date
 Resources
 Client Constrains and
Criticality
 Equipment
 Course Life Span
 Existing Training
High-Level Design
Document (HLDD)
Content Outline/Storyboard
Each course owner will write
a High-Level Design
Document and have it
approved by the functional
manager before beginning
development of the course.
The high-level design
document should contain:
 Strategy
 Scope
 Specifications
 Materials
 Roles and Responsibilities
 Breakdown of Project
 Work Plan
Content Outlines should be
created for every new course or
program. The Content Outline
contains the following for each
section of the course:
 Duration
 Purpose
 Topic/Activity
 Notes
Storyboards may be used in
complex courses or in cases
where we are not provided
clear-cut source material. They
should be reviewed by the
client before development
begins.
For courses where detailed,
complete source material is
provided, a storyboard and
storyboard review are not
necessary.

Instructor-Led Training
(ILT)
ILT courses should be
created in the CCHMC Talent
Development PowerPoint
Template, and all handouts,
job aids, or other performance
support tools should be
created with the CCHMC
Talent Development Word
Template.
eLearning
eLearning courses should be
developed in either the CCHMC
Talent Development Lectora
Template or the CCHMC Talent
Development Storyline
Template.
The templates are colorcoded, and should be created
as follows:
 Green:
 Pink:
 Blue
 Light Blue:
Quality
The Integrated Learning
Quality Process will consist of
six touchpoints both internally
and externally. These occur
during the following phases:
 Analysis (HLDD, Content
Outline)
 Design (storyboards, if
being used)
 Development (first draft,
final draft)
 Implementation (testing)
 Evaluation (lessons
learned)
Complementary Documents
 Brand Guidelines
 Writing Standards
 eLearning Design Tips
 Elements of Good
