How to use the Training Needs Analysis Tool.
Not every performance problem is a training problem. Check whether the person lacks knowledge, access, time or a clear process.
Make the workflow fit your task.
Investigate the cause of the performance gap before choosing training. Compare knowledge and skill needs with access, timing, resources and process constraints, then recommend learning only where it addresses the actual problem.
- What you provide
- Team performance problems and existing capabilities.
- What you get
- Training needs separated from process or resource problems.

Example input
Reports are late because source data arrives after the deadline.
Completed example
Investigate the data handoff before prescribing report-writing training.
Load this input into the prompt, then copy it to WebAct to try the task. Your result may differ from the illustration.
Decisions and troubleshooting.
Can training solve a process that supplies data after the deadline?
Training alone cannot fix an upstream timing constraint. Address the handoff or deadline before treating the issue as a knowledge deficit.
Why does the analysis prescribe courses without explaining the gap?
Require a link between the observed problem and the capability the course would develop. Remove recommendations with no causal fit.
Try it with your own source.
Replace the example with your material in the task prompt. Keep the requirements you need, then copy the task into WebAct.
