# Needs Assessment

Skills gap analysis with quantified gaps, learning objectives, and audience profile.

## Expected Artifacts

- **Skills gap analysis** -- current vs target competency levels for each role with measurable gaps
- **Learning objectives** -- following Bloom's taxonomy with observable verbs and measurable outcomes
- **Audience profile** -- target learners profiled with existing knowledge and learning preferences
- **Stakeholder input** -- validated needs from learners, managers, and subject matter experts

## Quality Signals

- Gap measurements are validated against multiple data sources
- Learning objectives use specific, observable verbs from Bloom's taxonomy
- Objectives align with business goals and are achievable within constraints
- At least 3 stakeholder sources provide input (learners, managers, SMEs)
