The first outcome involves understanding the major IT skill gaps present in the team. This initiative comprises comparing findings to current IT skill standards, analyzing team's recent project performance, and conducting a survey to comprehend the perceived IT skills deficiencies. Achieving this objective will require diligence and meticulous scrutiny.
The second outcome aims for an 80% completion rate across all training modules within a quarter. It involves regularly monitoring and reviewing progress made by the participants. Along with overseeing the process, implementing motivation incentives and developing engaging, comprehensive training modules are also part of this objective.
The final outcome involves designing two in-depth training modules per identified gap over the course of three weeks. This initiative involves identifying the gaps needing training modules, designing and finalizing two modules per gap, and developing detailed outlines for each module.
