As I learn the process of Instructional Designers, I've read numerous times about the steps in creating a course or module, but I've learned in execution, that there's a plethora of steps that can be taken to get to the final product, and the final analysis of what your product achieved. Not every project requires all of these steps, and not every designer or consultancy works in this linear progression. As noted on the right, adherents to the Rapid Development model skip steps that are considered redundant or unnecessary.
I plan to show all of these steps in my portfolio of skills, but I have to admit, skipping paperwork, and getting to iterative stages of prototyping looks like a more productive way to keep your client in the loop, get to a workable product, and in the words of IDEO founder David Kelley, “fail often, to succeed sooner”.
