[vc_row][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_single_image image=”3300″ img_size=”1110×500″][vc_column_text]So, it\u2019s finally time to roll out your Learning Management System (LMS) training program!<\/p>\n

You assembled a dream team for your LMS training transition. You searched far and wide for the best LMS system out there. Your team worked tirelessly to develop a standout curriculum and import it into the new software. Now all that\u2019s left to do is launch your new training program!<\/p>\n

This is a crucial time for your business. In order for your investment to pay off, you\u2019ll want to make sure you have some key things in place before the big launch.<\/p>\n

Much of the prep work before launching an LMS training program actually involves training. First, you have to train the people who will be training your employees. Second, you also have to train your employees on how to use the software that handles their training. That\u2019s a lot of training!<\/p>\n

With all the layers of training involved, the pre-rollout process may seem intimidating. But no need to worry! We\u2019ve boiled down the most important things you need to do before deploying your new LMS platform.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”7 steps to roll-out your new LMS training” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]\n

You don\u2019t want to be scrambling on the first day to create log-ins for the entire staff\u2013especially not for your training admins!<\/p>\n

      There should be clear roles for all of the LMS training program admins. And more importantly, everyone should know who is in charge of handling what. In the first few weeks following your rollout, there will be lots of technical support issues and general questions.<\/p>\n

      So, you\u2019ll want to make sure everyone knows who they should direct their questions to. You\u2019ll also want to make sure all admins have the administrative rights necessary to carry out their roles. This will ensure that any problems or questions that arise after the launch can be smoothed out quickly.<\/p>\n

      For credentialing, it\u2019s best to use a uniform naming system for employee usernames. To enhance security, equip users with a one-time password that can be personalized after the first log-in.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Assemble training rollout SME team” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_single_image image=”3301″ img_size=”1110×500″][vc_column_text]Your LMS training rollout plan should absolutely include a dedicated team of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). Your SMEs will be tasked with executing the LMS training deployment. As with any team project, it\u2019s always a good idea to have a team leader to guide and direct the rollout.<\/p>\n

      If you conducted your all-important needs assessment<\/a> at the beginning of the LMS transition, then you may have already identified your SMEs. A strong rollout team should be composed of associates from different departments, each playing to their strengths.<\/p>\n

      Some questions to consider when picking your SMEs and carving out their roles in the LMS training deployment plan are:<\/p>\n
