Tracking Articulate Projects- Completion/In Progress
I know Articulate has developed many, many trainings, so I’m sure their method of tracking is perhaps not quite what I need, but I was wondering what developers use as a resource, a program, or electronic document of sorts, to track projects being worked on vs. projects being completed. We don’t have many developed yet, as we’ve only started developing as an agency over the past couple of years (maybe 3 completed – 2 in Rise, 1 in Storyline) but I’m wondering, what’s a good way to track these trainings? Is there a resource that works well? Just an excel spreadsheet? A spreadsheet might do for now, but I'm thinking as we continue to develop, perhaps there's a better resource out there to track trainings for various agency programs? Any suggestions from anyone in the forum? Thanks!
Hi Barb! 👋 Great question! I like that you're thinking ahead! Here are a few resources for managing/tracking content that I hope make it easier to maintain projects in the future.
- 5 Tips for Building E-Learning Courses That Are Easy to Maintain - I thought I'd share this with you since you mentioned you're in the beginning stages of building courses and this could help set you up for success.
- Course Update Spreadsheet - a Course Maintenance Sheet can be helpful because you can see a list of all the courses in one place with any notes you need to stay organized. There are also a few dropdown options, but you can edit these to project status or whatever works for you.
If you use something like this, I highly recommend importing it into Google Sheets if you have more than one person working who will be making updates to it. This allows everyone to see it and make changes in real-time so you don't have to pass a file back and forth.
I hope that helps! Perhaps the community might have some other ideas that have made it easier to track projects.
Thank you Sarah! That's very helpful!
If you are charging for your work i find ManicTime tracker logs all actvity I had a comsulting business and at the end of the month just dumped out of Manictimtracker to calculate fees. i also letes yoy prepare better estimates/ A;ps allways create story boards and try and assess complexity before you start
Thanks Tom. I am not independent, so that doesn't apply to me. Thank you for sharing your advice though. Always good to know.
