Understand Project Scope in L&D: From LMS Launches to Curriculum Design

Ever jumped into a project only to realize halfway through that no one agreed on what “done” looked like? In this kickoff episode of The Learning Curve, I break down why defining project scope is the most critical step in any L&D initiative — whether you're launching a new LMS, building a curriculum from scratch, or revamping onboarding.

You’ll hear real-world scenarios, practical frameworks, and the questions I always ask before I take on any new project. Plus, you’ll walk away with a free downloadable checklist to help you scope smarter — and save yourself time, money, and frustration.
