Training Modernization for a Faster Acquisition Environment
Reform efforts also create a workforce challenge: teams need right-sized delivery cycles and high confidence in quality, traceability, and documentation. BBS modernizes training while supporting sustainment readiness and governance.
Warfighter Readiness Starts With Training Currency
Outdated courseware can create avoidable risk. BBS supports modernization by delivering:
- SME-validated updates aligned to mission requirements (as applicable)
- LMS-ready packages deployable where teams train
- Sustainment-ready structure to support future change cycles
- Audit-ready documentation to support review and acceptance
Three Capability Lanes
Parallel workstreams that support end-to-end modernization.
Lane 1 — Curriculum Modernization
- Doctrine refresh support (change-impact approach)
- Lesson redesign & alignment
- Assessment updates (strategy + item refresh)
- Microlearning conversion (as appropriate)
- Learning objective alignment and mapping
Lane 2 — Delivery Readiness
- LMS packaging & deployment notes
- SCORM/xAPI packaging (as required)
- 508-aware practices integrated early (process-level)
- QA gates, checks, and issue disposition logs
- Pre-deployment checks aligned to customer requirements
Lane 3 — Workforce Enablement
- Sustainment playbooks
- Templates + SOPs
- Training product governance checklists
- Update-cycle support for recurring refresh
- Operational handoff documentation
TDC-Experienced + ATIS-Aligned
BBS works in a TDC-informed development posture and supports ATIS-aligned documentation expectations when required by the program.
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| TDC Alignment | ADDIE mapped to Army-specific gates and structured reviews |
| ATIS Documentation | Artifacts formatted/structured to support ATIS documentation requirements (as applicable) |
| Gap Analysis | Identifies training deltas against doctrine/policy/mission requirements |
| LSR Development | Learning Solution Recommendations documenting modality decisions and instructional strategy |
| Living Storyboards | Iterative storyboard approach—SMEs validate evolving drafts, not static documents |
| IMPD Production | Instructional Media Production Documents specifying technical and media requirements |
Documentation sets vary by scope and customer requirements.
Human-Led. AI-Assisted. Governance Preserved.
"Human-led, AI-assisted; human review maintained; AI accelerates drafting/consistency checks and QA support; does not replace SMEs or approval authorities; does not provide source-selection influence."
Modernization doesn't have to start with a full rebuild. Most teams begin with one of three realities: legacy eLearning that needs a refresh, documentation that needs to be rebuilt for governance and review, or packaging/accessibility that needs to be stabilized for deployment. The sections below make it easy to identify your starting point and see what a deliverable-based 30/60/90 approach can look like—while keeping SME validation, traceability, and acceptance checks intact.
Common Modernization Starting Points
Not every modernization effort starts in the same place. These are three common entry points—and how BBS supports each path while preserving governance, documentation, and SME validation.
Legacy Storyline/Rise Refresh
Best when: You have existing eLearning that's outdated, inconsistent, or no longer aligned to mission needs.
Typical triggers: legacy interactions, mismatched objectives, outdated visuals, fragmented source files.
What we do:
- Inventory source files and published outputs
- Update lesson structure, narrative flow, and interactions (as scoped)
- Refresh assessments and feedback logic (as applicable)
- Maintain version control, QA/QC logs, and release notes
Outputs you can review:
- Updated source files + publish outputs
- QA/QC log + change log/version history
- LMS-ready package(s) with deployment notes (as scoped)
Documentation-First Refresh
Best when: The content is mostly correct, but the documentation trail and governance artifacts need to be rebuilt or aligned.
Typical triggers: missing or outdated LSR/IMPD/storyboards, unclear scope, repeated rework cycles, review friction.
What we do:
- Run structured Gap Analysis and baseline inventory (as needed)
- Produce or update LSR/IMPD and Living Storyboards
- Establish review gates and acceptance checks up front
- Capture SME validation records and comment disposition
Outputs you can review:
- Gap Analysis + prioritized backlog (as scoped)
- LSR/IMPD + Living Storyboards (validated)
- Governance + review plan with acceptance checks
LMS Packaging / 508 Focus
Best when: The training exists, but deployment readiness and accessibility need to be stabilized.
Typical triggers: LMS failures, inconsistent tracking, packaging defects, accessibility risk, incomplete deployment notes.
What we do:
- Stabilize publish settings and packaging approach (SCORM/xAPI as required)
- Document deployment notes, tracking specifications, and test steps
- Integrate 508-aware practices and document checks performed
- Provide QA/QC evidence trail for acceptance
Outputs you can review:
- LMS-ready packages + deployment notes
- 508 documentation notes (checks performed/remediation actions)
- QA/QC logs + acceptance evidence trail
What You Get in 30 / 60 / 90 Days
Delivery depends on scope and stakeholder availability. The items below describe reviewable outputs and working increments—not guarantees of speed or approval outcomes.
Baseline + Plan
Focus: Clarity, inventory, governance, and a review-ready plan of action.
Deliverable-based outputs may include:
- Inventory + baseline findings (what exists, versions, gaps)
- Prioritized modernization backlog (batchable work packages)
- Review gates + acceptance checks (who approves what, when)
- Draft change-impact approach (how updates will be managed)
First Working Increment
Focus: A defined batch reaches "review-ready" with documentation and QA trail.
Deliverable-based outputs may include:
- Living Storyboards for the first batch (SME-validated)
- Updated IMPD elements for scoped items (as applicable)
- Prototype or first build increment (Rise/Storyline as scoped)
- QA/QC log + issue disposition for the increment
Release Package + Sustainment Readiness
Focus: Deployable package(s) with traceability and governance artifacts.
Deliverable-based outputs may include:
- Packaged SCORM/xAPI deliverable(s) + deployment notes (as scoped)
- Release notes + version history
- ATIS-aligned documentation set (as scoped)
- Sustainment-ready backlog updates + next-cycle recommendations
