Strengths and Weaknesses of Rapid Instructional Design

StrengthsLimitations
Iterative Approach Resource intensive (all hands on deck from start to finish)
Multiple Stakeholder CollaborationComplexity (cycling through several stages near-concurrently)
Flexibility Potential for Scope Creep (frequent changes, longer timelines)
ResponsivenessSteep Learning Curve (more time ultimately impacts efficiency)
Focus on learner needsBudget Impacts (many cycles means spending more money)
