Project Gap Analysis Strategy
Project Description
PJ Enterprises’ management team feels it needs to improve the training approach for telephone operators to increase catalog
sales and reduce customer complaints. They have hired CHET Instructional Design to design, develop, and deliver a new
training program to customer service supervisors and telephone operators before the next catalog is mailed. CHET will
conduct a full needs analysis to determine if training is the best strategy and, if so, develop the best training solution.
Information Needed
● How are things right now? Why is there such a poor morale issue? Why is employee turnover high?
● Who trains the new employees--an expert trainer/supervisor or a neighboring peer?
● What are the perceived management causes of performance issues?
● What are the employees’ perceived issues with performance?
● Are the surveys the customers submit accurate without bias?
● Is the performance issue(s) based within one shift/supervisor/set of employees?
● What happens when an employee asks for additional training or a refresher course?
● Are technology issues causing performance issues?
● Do employees need more training time?
● Can the operators answer the call quickly enough and access the product reference guides quickly?
● Are the product reference guides written at a 6th grade or lower standard (the average reading level of an adult)?
● Could the extra time with the survey cause the performance issues? Could the new performance evaluation be
causing performance issues?
● Could the performance issues be related to the number of employees (too many or too few)?
● Why are the operators spending 20 minutes with each call/customer (that survey?)?
● Could having more customer service supervisors and fewer operators reduce the performance issues?
● What happened in the past year to cause the 30% increase in customer dissatisfaction?
● During the training, do operators see or touch the actual products or photos, or is only the text summary provided?
● Is any assessment conducted to determine phone operators’ understanding of products after each catalog training?
● How are personnel issues or negative evaluations addressed?
● What are the business workflows and the current metrics?
Team Strategy
● Use face-to-face interviews with customer service supervisors and telephone operators; the catalog director (Judie
Thompson), merchandising manager (Sheena Perez), and assistant merchandising manager; and with a member of
the Human Resources Department at PJ Enterprises.
● Offer the option of an anonymous survey if an employee does not want to meet face-to-face.
● Observe the process with the telephone operators.
● Approach PJ Enterprises’ appointed designees, but also ask to speak to any other person who may offer input.
● Review customer service surveys conducted by telephone operators and supervisors and review past evaluation data
and recordings of customer service calls with telephone operators, if available.

Observation
DETAILS OF METHOD:
The Telephone Operators will be observed in their work environment, unannounced, and on various days and shifts
throughout the week. We will be seeking information on how they respond to customers, their knowledge of the product they
are selling, and their overall ability to perform job-related tasks.
Page 6 of 74

WHAT TO OBSERVE:
When observing, the following will be considered:
● Time it takes for the Phone Operator to answer
● Questions asked are appropriate to the customer’s need
● Level of catalog product knowledge
● Tone of voice
● Typing skills--speed at which information is entered
● Ability to deal with any issues appropriately--if issue requires higher up transfer, it was handled adequately
WHAT TO REVIEW:
● Customer service skills
● Response time
● Product knowledge
Data Review
DETAILS:
● Review past customer service survey results of customers who were not satisfied.
● Review past evaluation data and recorded phone calls (if available) with telephone operators
WHAT TO REVIEW:
● Reasons for customer dissatisfaction
● Process for collecting data
● Customer service survey question wording
● Possible trends and patterns in customer dissatisfaction
Roadblocks & Dependencies
● The observers see the same operators and customer service supervisors even though they chose random days
● HR and/or the managers follow around the observers as they observe the phone operators and customer service reps
● The anonymous survey is not filled out by enough of the phone operators in order to give a large enough sample size
for analysis
● The anonymous survey could be taken by the same participants that are interviewed by the observers, thus skewing
the data based on a few people’s points of view
● Analysis of the surveys is vague; people don’t take time to fill in the opinion questions
● Review of the customer service survey may be limited
Page 7 of 74

Strategies to Mitigate Risks
● Get a schedule of when the phone operators and customer service supervisors will be in. Make sure there is an
opportunity to observe every worker based on the provided schedule.
● Have a meeting with HR and the managers about the expectations of the observations. Get agreement from all
parties about touring through the facility unescorted.
● Give an incentive for filling out the survey. Even though the survey is anonymous, make it a competition between
teams. Give a prize for most surveys filled out by team. Or, have a drawing for a prize.
● Make sure the customer service survey is a mix of questions on with a Likert scale as well as fill in the blank have
questions. Have the most important questions re-phrased in different ways in order to make sure that the answers
are the same.

Scope Definition
The scope definition for this project was conducted using two different methods. The first one was derived from the
identification of the common business strategy, overall goals and targets, and interviews from key stakeholders as presented

parties.
From this information, CHET Instructional Design was able to produce the Scope Management Plan and all of its variables. This
document contains the project description and deliverables as assessed and described by the above methods using expert
professional judgement, face-to-face interviews, and reviewing PJ Enterprises’ business objectives, metrics, and future growth
targets.

Scope Verification
During the weekly status update meetings, the Project Manager and all other concerned team members will be updated with
the current interim project deliverables. These will be verified against the original project scope and be determined as part of
the scope statement and WBS. When the individual deliverables comply with the expectations of the overall project scope,
the Project Manager and Sponsor will meet and formal acceptance of that deliverable will be granted. This will be
accomplished by the Project Manager and the Sponsor signing a project deliverable acceptance document, a copy of which
will be maintained as part of the final deliverables. This ongoing process will guarantee the reliable delivery of the individual
components of the project and ensure consistency.
Scope Control
The Project Manager and the project team will work together to control the scope of the project. The project team will ensure
that they perform only the work described on the WBS and generate the defined deliverables for each WBS element. The
Project Manager will oversee the project team and the progression of the project to ensure that this scope control process is
followed.
If a change to the project scope is needed, the process for recommending changes to the scope of the project must be carried
out. Any project team member or sponsor can request changes to the project scope; however the Project Owner must
validate that the change is from an authorized person. All change requests must be submitted to the Project Manager using
the Project Change Request Form, available on the next page.
Upon receipt of the Project Change Request Form, the Project Manager will review the suggested change to the scope of the
project. The Project Manager will confer with the manager of the department affected by the change to determine the impact
on cost and schedule. The Project Manager will then either deny the change request if it does not apply to the intent of the
project or convene a change control meeting between the project team, Project Owner, and Project Sponsor to review the
change request further and perform an impact assessment of the change.
If the change request receives initial approval by the Project Manager, Owner, and Sponsor, the Project Manager will formally
submit the change request to Project Sponsor. If the Project Sponsor approves the scope change, the Project Sponsor and
Project Manager will then formally accept the change by signing the Project Change Request Form. The Project Manager will
then update all project documents and communicate the scope change to all project team members and stakeholders.

Instructional Design Document
Project Name: PJ Enterprises Database Training Program for the Telephone Operators and Customer Service Supervisors
Brief Project Description
For this project CHET Instructional design will create an asynchronous (self-paced) computer-based training course for
PJ Enterprises telephone operators and customer service supervisors that will teach them to use the new searchable
online product information database developed by CHET.
Instructional Need
In a survey done by PJ enterprises, two out of every three customers had a complaint about the customer service
representative. One of the main areas of complaint was that the representative was not knowledgeable about the
product. Fifty percent of the people that responded said they would not do business with PJ Enterprises again.
PJ Enterprises is looking to expand their business and focus on their aggressive business goals. PJ Enterprises wants to
increase their annual sales from the previous year by $2 million and their catalog sales by $3 million. They believe that
this sales growth can come from maintaining an internal customer list instead of relying on rented list that cut into the
profit margin. Maintaining a large list is difficult if 50% of their customers leave due to poor customer service on the
phone.
Catalogs are produced four times per year, and the PJ Enterprises has rotated more than 500 products through its
catalog over the six years it has been in operation. The company expects its telephone operators to be able to provide
customers with information about each product upon request.
This creates an opportunity for training the customer-service supervisors and the phone operators to use the new
searchable online product database the CHET has created for PJ Enterprises. Teaching the phone operators to use the
database helps ensure operators can find the information they need and assist customers more efficiently even though
products change frequently. It would reduce the number of calls that get re-directed to the customer-service supervisor
or are forced to call back. The training also aims to increase efficiency so that a greater number of customers can be
serviced.
Target Audience
25 phone operators
4 customer-service representatives
Catalog Director
Merchandising Manager
Vice President of Sales & Operations
Any other employee of PJ Enterprises that may have a client interaction in which they discuss products or use the new
database
Page 31 of 74

Learner Characteristics
General Learner Characteristics:
All are PJ Enterprises employees
Age range: 18-30 (70%), 30-60 (30%)
Gender: 60% women, 40% men
Education: All have high school diploma; some have post-secondary education
Entry Learner Characteristics:
PJ Enterprises employees
Familiar with the sales & catalog release cycle
Can operate a computer
Can operate the PJ Enterprises phone system
Directors and managers may believe they do not need training and it’s only necessary for operators
Learning Theories:
CHET will be using the “Absorb, Do, Connect” model of instructional design from E-learning by Design written by
William Horton. This model presents the information in three different ways to the learner. Presenting the information
in multiple ways is important because repetition helps learners to absorb what they are learning.
The training proposed is based on constructivism, whereby the learner is an active participant constructing new
knowledge onto existing knowledge. Once the initial content is mastered, another topic will be presented, building on
the previous topic.
Since all of the learners in this class will be adult learners, it is important to also take theory of Andragogy into account.
This means that adults want their learning to be self-directed. They want what they are learning to be immediately
applicable to who they are and what they are doing. That is why we are offering them multiple views of the database
and multiple learning opportunities.
Training Format
The training format consists of Computer-based training (CBT).
Page 32 of 74

Learning Environment
This is information was obtained by the project team conducting three visits to the site.
Onsite Facilities
● Conference room with chairs and tables or desks for all trainees
● Computers/laptops for the phone operators to use for the CBT
○ must provide audio (headset recommended)
○ must be connected to the new online product database
Constraints and Recommendations
● Phone operators and customer-service supervisors will have to set aside time in their day to complete the
prerequisite CBT.
● Since the customer service is open 24 hours, the phone operators will have to take the course in shifts.
● CHET Instructional Design will require the following from PJ Enterprises:
○ Access to new catalog products for development and delivery of training.
○ Copies of the new catalog for use in developing and delivering training.
○ SME input on catalog product information, database search steps and techniques, and common types
of customer questions regarding catalog products.

Assessment Summary
This training will be offered through asynchronous (self-paced) online instruction. Learners will not receive a formal grade;
rather, a certificate will be awarded to confirm the employee’s completion of the training. The goal of the assessments is to
ensure the telephone operators can easily navigate the new online database and enter necessary information in the optimal
time period. The rationale for testing is to measure the operators’ progress and to motivate each operator to improve his/her
skills. PJ Enterprises will oversee the CBT training and review the assessment scores.
Formative assessments will be used throughout the course. For most of the objectives, formative assessment via computer-
scored quizzes and “Try It” activities will be offered during the course. Immediate feedback will be given and learners will
have to opportunity to repeat activities as many times as they wish to master the content. As a summative assessment and to
further assess comprehension, learners will complete a scenario-based activity.
Page 36 of 74

Evaluation Plan
Formative:
An ongoing formative evaluation will take place during the initial design and implementation phase, before the formal
deployment of the training. This phase will be considered a prototype or beta testing, and will take into consideration
feedback from PJ Enterprises management/SMEs, CHET design team, and the learner’s perspectives.
The first group of students (approximately 10 initially for the CBT) will be asked to give detailed developmental and functional
feedback. This feedback will then be incorporated into the initial CBT models, if required. As each additional class progresses
through the subsequent training, relevant feedback will be added to the design models and potentially the CBT. If the
feedback is pertinent, it will be made retroactive and become an addendum for the previous learners, so every learner will
have an exact replica of the most up-to-date training.
This evaluation will define any deficiencies, measure the CBT’s effectiveness, potentially create revisions, and be able to
analyze the efficacy of the learning objectives and overall project strategy, thus allowing the project to be amended if needed,
and meeting the needs of PJ Enterprises.
Summative:
This external evaluation will measure if the projected outcomes are actually being realized or engaged by the learners at the
completion of the CBT training. Ideally the learners will have mastered all designed competencies and will be able to display
that accomplishment through an established “passing score” within each of the CBT instructional modules, as determined by
each terminal/enabling objective. An overall, comprehensive questionnaire will be given at the end of the training that will
identify and elicit specific feedback from each learner, allowing CHET to analyze, measure, and validate the performance
goals, making sure the training will support the long term needs of PJ Enterprises. These benefits will be realized if the
learners are performing within the limits established by the terminal and enabling objectives at the end of the training.
Confirmative:
This evaluation will measure the long-term performance value of the CBT training, specifically if the telephone operators and
customer service supervisors are maintaining the same target operational goals as set by the initial terminal/enabling
objectives. This evaluation will also measure if the training has met PJ Enterprises’ established business metrics and can
determine if the training has positively or negatively contributed to the overall business strategy.
This assessment will take place approximately 6 months after the completion of the internal training. Information will be
gathered from two of the original pools of respondents (PJ Enterprises management/SMEs and the training end-users).
Informational interviews will be asked of the management/SMEs and a curated group of telephone operators/customer
service supervisors. Every learner will be asked to complete a detailed questionnaire about what they remember regarding
the initial training, their continued use of the individual job aids, and any suggestions for future improvements, additions, or
deletions. An additional group of telephone operators and customer service supervisors will be chosen for a CHET
observational interview. CHET will measure, analyze, and collate this information, and will provide a summary report of the
observations to PJ Enterprises.

There are two different ways to search the database. You can use the navigation down the side menu. But, the
most direct route is using the search box at the top and using item number or name. You can also use the search
box and menu based on the item’s description. This is helpful if a client is asking about two similar items. You
can then click on an item to view its description and price.

MEETING OBJECTIVE

MINUTES
Emily Frank (Project Manager) of CHET Instructional Design welcomed PJ Enterprises managers Georgia Garrison and Judie
Thompson and provided a brief project progress update. All deliverables remain on schedule and CHET has submitted a
storyboard for the computer-based training to PJ Enterprises. Judie Thompson noted that the storyboard is being review by
their team and feedback should be back to CHET within one week.
The discussion then turned to the Change Request Form #001 submitted by Georgia Garrison on December 7, 2016. The
original Project Management Plan had noted that all software was the responsibility of PJ Enterprises; however, the last
Project Progress Report (Dec. 6, 2016) noted that PJ Enterprises’ LMS is slow and outdated. Georgia shared after receiving this
report she had discussed the issue further with Cally Mervine, Instructional Designer at CHET, and with PJ Enterprises’ IT
Manager. Based on the report and these conversations, PJ Enterprises is requesting the use of CHET’s LMS, Blackboard
Collaborate, for the product database training. Emily noted that this could be provided at $50/user, and was not in the initial
budget; the timeline would not be affected by this change.
Judie questioned what alternatives had been considered and Georgia shared that she had investigated replacing their current
LMS and the cost was $7000 for implementation and a one-year license for up to 300 users. PJ Enterprises anticipates no more
than 50 individuals will use the LMS in its first year and no other CBTs are currently being offered. Judie noted that she agreed
using CHET’s LMS was the best option.
Georgia and Emily both approved and signed the Change Request Form, Number 001 (copy attached). Emily will have an
invoice for 35 users at $50 each ($1750 total) sent via email to PJ Enterprises. Payment in full must be received before access
is granted.
Appreciation for the efficient resolution was shared by all. No additional items required discussion at this time.
Meeting adjourned at 12:43 p.m.
