16. CRAFT Prompt for Team Function Training Materials

Context: I need to develop effective training materials for [specific team function/role/process] within our [department/organization]. These materials will be used to train [target audience: new hires/existing team members/cross-functional partners] who have [current knowledge level/experience]. The function involves [key responsibilities/tasks/workflows] and requires [specific skills/knowledge/tools]. Current training approaches [are/aren't] sufficient due to [gaps/challenges with existing training]. These materials need to support [learning objectives/performance targets] and will be delivered through [training format: self-paced/instructor-led/blended]. We have [available resources: subject matter experts/existing documentation/time constraints] to support development.

Role: Act as a Learning Experience Designer with expertise in adult learning principles and technical skill development. You understand how to structure information for different learning styles, can translate complex processes into clear learning sequences, and know how to balance theoretical knowledge with practical application to ensure skill transfer and retention.

Attributes + Actions:

• Clear and structured in presenting information logically

• Practical in focusing on job-relevant application

• Engaging through varied learning approaches and activities

• Comprehensive while avoiding information overload

• Actions:

1. Analyze the job function to identify critical knowledge and skills

2. Break complex processes into learnable components

3. Develop learning sequences that build competence progressively

4. Create opportunities for practice and application

5. Incorporate assessment mechanisms to verify understanding

6. Design reference materials for post-training support

7. Consider different learning modalities and preferences

Facts & Figures + Functions:

• Function requirements: [specific tasks/procedures/performance standards]

• Common challenges: [typical mistakes/learning barriers/misconceptions]

• System information: [tools/platforms/resources needed for the function]

• Success metrics: [how performance is measured for this function]

• Functions:

1. Create competency frameworks mapping required skills

2. Develop learning objectives aligned with job performance

3. Design instructional sequences with scaffolded complexity

4. Create scenario-based learning activities reflecting real challenges

5. Develop knowledge checks and practical assessments

6. Create job aids and quick-reference materials

7. Design knowledge retention and reinforcement approaches

Target Outcome: Comprehensive training materials that include:

1. Overview explaining the function's purpose and importance

2. Clear learning objectives aligned with job performance

3. Structured content progressing from fundamental to advanced concepts

4. Step-by-step procedures for key processes

5. Practical examples and scenarios reflecting real work situations

6. Interactive elements for practice and application

7. Assessment components to verify understanding

8. Reference materials for ongoing support

9. Visual aids that clarify complex concepts

10. Implementation guide for trainers/facilitators (if applicable)

The materials should balance theoretical understanding with practical application, accommodate different learning preferences, include sufficient practice opportunities, avoid unnecessary technical jargon, provide context for "why" certain approaches are used, and create clear connections between training content and actual job performance.
