Managing SMEs

Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) are brilliant at their jobs, but they aren't Instructional Designers. If you don't tell them exactly what to look for, you will get unhelpful feedback.

The Scope Creep Trap

The most common ID failure is allowing SMEs to rewrite core content during the Beta Phase. By the time you are in Beta, the content should be locked. Beta is only for catching typos and broken links.

How this helps:

This tool generates explicit "Do's" and "Don'ts" based on the phase. It gently but firmly forces the SME to stay in their lane.
