Use Case: Planning and Scheduling Training Programs with KanBo

Let’s take an example of a training program for new technicians starting at your repair station location. You need to schedule classroom sessions, OJT sessions, and evaluations for each of the new trainees. With KanBo, you can easily plan and coordinate all the necessary training sessions.

Start by creating a card for each trainee and adding them to a Kanban board for your training program. Then, add all the necessary details, including the training objectives, schedules, and requirements in the card description.

To schedule classroom sessions, create a task in the card and assign it to the trainer. Set a due date for the task, and notify the trainer about the task by mentioning them in the comment.

You can use the calendar view in KanBo to visualize all the scheduled training sessions. With the help of Gantt charts, you can also see how the training program is progressing, and if there are any delays, you can take necessary actions accordingly.

For OJT sessions, create a checklist or a task list in the card. Add all the necessary tasks that the trainee needs to perform, along with the corresponding deadlines. Assign these tasks to the supervisors or trainers responsible for conducting the OJT.

To keep track of progress, you can also use KanBo’s analytics tool to see how trainees are performing on specific tasks.

Finally, for evaluations, create a separate card with a checklist of evaluation criteria. Assign evaluators to each trainee and set a due date for the evaluation task. The evaluator can then fill in the evaluation form in the card, making it easy for you to track progress and ensure that the trainees meet the necessary performance standards.

KanBo also allows you to maintain a computer-based Learning Management System (LMS) to track your employees’ progress and ensure that they meet the necessary training requirements.
