How should I structure my LMS project team?

 

We suggest you assemble a small core team that is responsible for project management and administration of the final LMS setup. This core team is typically comprised of a primary LMS admin and backup LMS admin. For projects that involve many stakeholders or business units, we strongly recommend having a Project Manager as a part of that core team to coordinate internal activities. This team is responsible for all communication related to the setup of the platform and will be the go-between for your internal business stakeholders and the Docebo Solution Deployment Manager. During the course of Onboarding, other stakeholders or technical resources may need to join calls with Docebo and your LMS Admins in order to discuss use cases in more detail but they will not be required on all calls. It is critical that the core team attend all Docebo onboarding calls and training, other attendees are only required if the use case warrants their involvement.

The chart below lists all the potential team members that may be needed throughout the duration of your LMS Onboarding project.

Love this list Adam. Thank you for sharing this.

To this I would also add a bit more on the role of a superadmin.
