I have never worked with a freelancer or a friend on big events, projects or anything that requires accountability and involves finances. I don't like mixing business and friendships. In my experience from observing others, it gets too messy.

When I was first tasked with creating interactive SOP's for my department my boss told me to use IAuditor because it was an easy, limited, plug and play platform. It was very simple to use but limited in almost everyway. I was able to generate an enormous amount of work quickly. Once I had created a course of 16 SOP's and training guides, I began going through the process of testing them. As I began to explore the functions more deeply and work out how to track progress in relation to our established development KPI's I ended up going down a rabbit whole of paywalled features. The worst of which was a user fee that required $5 per user per month. Add to this the additional costs to unlock needed features that would achieve our goals, the bill began to balloon. With a department of 250 employees the costs rapidly expanded into a completely unreasonable state. In the end we had to scratch that platform. I had to redo everything using a combination of Canva, MS Forms and MS Excel. Simple turned into a dead end and a lot of wasted time.

Of the 5 questions I would say the most pressing is what outcome should this create? I have a planning meeting that is scheduled for the 8th which will hopefully establish this.

I am not on a platform yet, I am actively looking though and the more I am going through this content the clear my own objectives and thought process is becoming. I very much in the space of I don't know what I don't know. That is rapidly changing.

I don't have a singular goal in mind yet. The primary goal of the next 30 days is to learn everything I can in to see how it can apply to the LMS I am currently developing and to see the potential ways I can market myself in the near future.

@Greg DeWitt Good morning Greg. I am have been exploring potential options for the LMS and I am leaning more and more towards a website concept, using WP. I am trying to learn more about it as this is new territory for me. Most of the SOP's, training guides have been created using a combination of Canva and Adobe products. The quizzes have been created using MS Forms. All of these materials have weblinks. Since this is new territory for me, and I see there is a real need for this type of a system, I am exploring all possibilities. I was going over your 5 critical questions last night and I am very clear on those answers. It's all about finding the best vehicle to deliver the product. WP looks extremely promising. There is a precident in the form of Skill Share where this concept has been proven and is tremendously succesful. Like you said in your course videos there is a big ocean out there.
