One of the most challenging parts of being a software trainer is keeping training content up-to-date on software that constantly changes. In a world of short sprints and rapid release cycles, the speed at which software changes is accelerating. It is almost demoralizing to spend so much effort developing a training course only to find it out-of-date the moment it is the completed. And many software trainers have shown up to teach a class, only to find out during classes that features have changed and the trainer didn't know it.
And to make matters worse, there is evidence to support this problem. According to the research by the Technology Services Industry Association (TSIA), there is a 68 day lag between the time a product is shipped and live training is released.
