The document outlines the phases and steps of a performance-driven instruction development project work breakdown structure (WBS). The six phases include: planning, analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Key steps involve identifying objectives and requirements, performing a skills gap analysis, designing instructional content and technology, developing course materials, implementing pilot trainings, and evaluating feedback to document lessons learned. The WBS provides a framework to guide the instructional design process from initial planning through final evaluation.
