Resumen
The article focuses on the preparations for EPSS projects. EPSS projects tend to be more technically complex than other types of instructional development. Because the EPSS development effort is often linked to a business application development effort, a cohesive project plan that identifies EPSS development tasks and points of integration with the business application project plan is essential to project success. Once the project tasks are identified, assignment of skilled resources in key roles completes the team and provides the foundation for a successful EPSS development project. A successful project usually combines expertise from both training and application development methodologies. The technical demands of EPSS projects also create special planning and skill requirements for the project team. Unlike multimedia and computer-based training projects that address a subset of content from a curriculum, EPSS projects typically support business processes that may span several departments or organizations in a company.
