Abstract

Around 40% of the knowledge acquired in training is lost after a break of 1 month, rising to 90% after 6 months. By providing training 'as needed'. Just In Time Training (JIT-T) seeks to solve this problem. In other words, effort is not invested in training people in skills that they are not going to use in the very near future. The paper describes the use of the JIT-T approach in training project managers, working in a hi-tech company. JIT-T was selected because the management felt that the conventional training was not effective enough. The more crucial project management areas were identified, and the training program was executed.
