Redrawing the ADDIE Model for Agile Instructional Design

The author of Agile for Instructional Designers, Founder and CEO of TorranceLearning, Megan Torrance, demonstrates how to redraw the ADDIE instructional design model iteratively to be more Agile within learning and development (L&D) projects.

The rapid iterative cycles of design & evaluation Agile provides offers an effective framework for adapting to change as it happens and for delivering the content learners need most. By redrawing the ADDIE model to take advantage of the strengths of the Agile methodology, instructional designers can strengthen their design approach.

ADDIE stands for analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation and is an instructional design model often used by instructional designers and eLearning developers to create training content.

TRANSCRIPT
Here's how I draw the ADDIE model. I believe in a little bit of analysis design and development, but I'm very quickly going to get out an implementation and an evaluation, very early in my timeline.We rarely have enough time to analyze, but guess what? This implementation and evaluation, is at the same position as the analysis. That's another opportunity for analysis. But when we put out our early iterations of a project, who do you get to review your early iterations of a project?

Your subject matter experts are excellent for telling you," Are you accurate? Have you included it all?" Your sponsors and stakeholders are going to make sure that it's directionally sound. Your fellow instructional designers and the randos are going to help you catch what you missed and make sure you've got it right. Except, not a single one of those people actually is on the hook for using what you just created to do their jobs better. That's why I'm a huge proponent of having those actual learners part of your early iteration reviews. If absolutely the ADDIE process did happen multiple times along the way, it might look something like this, where I continue iterating until I run out of time or budget or things worth fixing.
