Determine Which Training Needs Are the Responsibility of the Organization

In addition to strategic training needs, organizational training addresses training requirements that are common across projects and support groups. Projects and support groups have the primary responsibility for identifying and addressing their specific training needs. The trainers are only responsible for addressing common cross-project and support-group training needs. In some cases, however, trainers may address additional training needs of projects and support groups, as negotiated with them, within the context of the training resources available and the organization's training priorities.

Analyze the training needs identified by the various projects and support groups. Analysis of project and support group needs is intended to identify common training needs that can be most efficiently addressed organization wide. These needs-analysis activities are used to anticipate future training needs that are first visible at the project and support group level.
Negotiate with the various projects and support groups on how their specific training needs will be satisfied. The support provided by trainers depends on the training resources available and training priorities.
Document the commitments for providing training support to the projects and support groups.
