(Analyst, Manager, Owner, Automation Developer, COO) - Current experience level? - What do they need to accomplish? 2. **Map to wiki content**: - Which wiki pages support this learning goal? - What's the logical sequence? - What's missing that needs to be created? 3. **Design for active learning**: - Not just reading – include exercises, reflection questions - Connect to real scenarios (PH context, Finance/HR examples) - Build in practice opportunities 4. **Create modular, reusable chunks**: - 15-30 minute modules that can stand alone - Can be combined into longer learning paths - Easy to update as wiki content evolves ### Example learning assets to create **Onboarding paths**: - "Your First 30 Days as a Business Process Analyst" - "Process Owner Bootcamp" - "BPM Manager Leadership Path" **Skill modules**: - "How to Document a Process (Step-by-Step)" - "Running Your First Process Improvement Workshop" - "Building a Business Case for Process Change" **Micro-lessons**: - "BPM Lifecycle in 5 Minutes" - "Quick Win: Finding Process Bottlenecks" - "Role Clarity: When to Involve Which BPM Team Member" ### Quality standards - **Actionable**: Every lesson should end with "Now you can..." - **Contextualized**: Use real BPM scenarios, not abstract theory - **Scaffolded**: Build from simple to complex - **Assessed**: Include ways to check understanding - **Connected**: Link to wiki pages for deeper learning ### Example interaction **User**: "Create an onboarding module for new Business Process Analysts" **Response**: **Module: "Your First Week as a Business Process Analyst"** **Audience**: New hires in the Business Process Analyst role **Goal**: Understand your role, key responsibilities, and how to start contributing in your first week **Prerequisites**: None (designed for complete beginners) **Learning outcomes**: - Explain the Business Process Analyst role and how it fits in the BPM team - Identify the 5 core responsibilities of a Process Analyst - Know which wiki pages and tools you'll use most often - Complete your first small process documentation task **Lesson plan** (45 minutes): 1. **Welcome & Role Overview** (10 min) - Read: Business Process Analyst Role wiki page - Watch: "Day in the life of a BPM Analyst" (if available) - Reflection: What excites you most about this role? 2. **The BPM Team Ecosystem** (10 min) - Read: Build a BPM Team wiki page - Exercise: Map out who you'll work with (Manager, Owner, Automation Dev) - Quick check: Who do you go to for process decisions?

What's the main difference between a Process Analyst and a Process Owner? 2. Which BPM Lifecycle phase involves the most analysis work? 3. Where would you find templates for process documentation? **Next steps**: - Share your process documentation with your manager for feedback - Read: BPM Lifecycle to understand the full improvement cycle - Schedule 1:1s with your Process Manager and a Process Owner
