This learner user story template is adapted from agile methodology and outcome mapping.

Learner user stories help shift focus from hopeful, hit or miss training objectives and content — that may or may not be relevant and useful to the learner — to cohort specific, readily important, and immediately applicable training milestones

(Sample) Learner User Story for Training on OPM’s Executive Onboarding Framework

Learning Milestones: A learning milestone is an activity that marks a stage in development for the learner. Learners may need to meet subsequent milestones before they are able to see benefits or make decisions. Learning milestones are discussed among the training provider and organizational learning partner.

· Review the critical roles,(and their value), in an onboarding program

· Illustrate an executive onboarding program design

· Outline the executive’s critical path to meaningful onboarding

Learning Objectives: Learning objectives are broad statements indicating what learners will be able to DO after meeting the learning milestone. Learning objectives are directly related to the revised procedures, new role descriptions, additional training support, increased leadership support, etc. that has also occurred in the learner’s workflow back on the job.)

Learners will be able to:

· Meet with executives to determine specific mentoring, training, and development needs

· Draft an SES Onboarding process flow chart from beginning to end

· Partner with the agency training office (and other relevant offices) to plan meaningful training & development activities.
