The context

Training three thousand agents on a major version upgrade.

GMAT, the application that carries the agent’s maintenance actions in the depot, is changing version. The aim is to improve the traceability of maintenance operations and to meet operational obligations, without taking agents off the floor longer than necessary.

The blind spot

Two half-days in a classroom, and then?

The training fits into short sessions, training environments are not always available, and agents work both on a workstation and on a tablet, as close as possible to the trainsets.

The classroom sessionYou discover the new version in a room, over two half-days.
Back in the depotThe action comes up, sometimes several days later.
The step that blocksNo environment at hand any more to try again.
The scope

The application covered by the deployment.

The solution

Practising on a replica, as many times as needed.

Eight interactive modules that replay the key GMAT journeys, with no dedicated environment.

Eight interactive modules
