 SAP’s original Professional Services fundamentals course was long, highly technical, and difficult for new learners to absorb. I led the redesign of this curriculum, transforming it into a modern microlearning experience supported by clear workbooks, software demonstrations, scenario-based learning, and an engaging mentor/mentee video series.

The redesigned solution helped learners understand complex SAP processes in a practical, approachable way—while maintaining accuracy, consistency, and SAP brand standards.

I redesigned a multi-unit, multi-lesson ILT course into a streamlined, microlearning-based experience by:

• Breaking dense, technical lessons into smaller, focused learning modules
   
• Rewriting content using plain language and real-world context
   
• Adding business scenarios to demonstrate when and why processes are used
   
• Aligning instructional strategies to Bloom’s Taxonomy and the ADDIE model
   
• Creating a consistent lesson flow: What You’ll Learn → Why It Matters → Business Context → Hands-On Process Demo
   

This restructuring greatly improved clarity and learner retention.

I created four redesigned participant workbooks, each including:

• Simplified explanations of Professional Services processes
   
• Visual process flows and diagrams
   
• Scenario-based examples
   
• Step-by-step guided walkthroughs for hands-on practice
   
• Microlearning summaries and job-aid style references
   

These workbooks formed the backbone of the learner experience and ensured coherence across the full course.

I designed and produced a full suite of multimedia learning assets, including:

• Software demonstration videos
   
• Screen-recorded walkthroughs
   
• Animated explainer sequences
   
• Interactive Storyline modules
   

Tools used included:
Articulate Storyline, SAP’s internal course authoring tool, Camtasia, Adobe Premiere Pro, Canva, and Microsoft 365.

All assets were uploaded, versioned, and quality-reviewed through SAP’s LMS and SharePoint collaboration ecosystem.

To make complex SAP concepts more approachable, I scripted and produced a conversational instructional video featuring a mentor guiding a new consultant through real-world Professional Services scenarios and SAP fundamentals.

This “storytelling meets software training” approach transformed otherwise technical content into relevant, practical application.

Throughout the project, I:

• Facilitated structured SME interviews
   
• Maintained SharePoint documentation and version control
   
• Managed deadlines, deliverables, and weekly stakeholder reviews
   
• Ensured content accuracy, consistency, and alignment to SAP terminology
   
• Coordinated with global product teams and QA reviewers
   

This end-to-end project management ensured a smooth development lifecycle.

 The redesigned program covered the foundational processes central to Professional Services in SAP S/4HANA Cloud, including:

• Procurement fundamentals
   
• Sales order processing
   
• Event-based revenue recognition
   
• Intercompany processes
   
• Organizational structures & master data
   
• End-to-end examples that tie processes together
   

Each topic was delivered through a mix of microlearning lessons, hands-on practice, and video support.

• Articulate Storyline – Interactive modules and guided scenarios
   
• SAP Course Authoring Tools + LMS – Course hosting, structure, and integration
   
• Adobe Premiere Pro & Camtasia – Software demos and video editing
   
• Canva – Visual assets and workbook layout
   
• Microsoft 365 – Documentation, collaboration, and workbook creation
   
• SharePoint – SME collaboration, version control, and file management

The redesigned course delivered:

• A far more digestible learning experience aligned to microlearning best practices
   
• A consistent and visually modern structure across all lessons
   
• Increased clarity around complex Professional Services processes
   
• A learner-friendly blend of explanation, real-world context, and practice
   
• High-quality multimedia that supported diverse learning preferences
   
• A smoother ramp-up experience for new consultants and technical learners
   

This project significantly improved the instructional quality and usability of a core SAP learning offering.

•  4 redesigned participant workbooks
   
• Microlearning-aligned lesson templates
   
• Instructional video and mentor/mentee series
   
• Interactive eLearning modules
   
• Software demonstrations
   
• Scenario-based learning elements
   
• QA-checked LMS-ready content
   
• Project documentation and SME collaboration workflows
