Instructional Design - Realistic Expectations
Hi Philip, I usually do an excel spreadsheet with phases, tasks, avg. time, etc. But some people tend to glaze over - so here's a hook to grab their attention "How Long Does It Take .... " interactive module by Jackie van Nice http://www.jackievannice.com/?p=175071445 (it is old, but may be useful) and once you have them hooked and listening present the excel sheet. Or a storyboard layout could be useful. If it were me, I would think of the supervisor as the audience for a learning course, it may be easier to plan an approach to this with that in mind. Another thing you could do is start logging the hours you spend on each phase/project, that way you have a ready resource to rely on for future budget, timeline and scheduling.
