In this interview, In\u00e8s Gourio, creator of ClaPlan, shares the story and vision behind the application that has become essential for training managers. <\/p>\n

Born out of the lack of suitable tools for planning and monitoring training activities, ClaPlan is now helping companies to become more efficient. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

ClaPlan<\/strong> is a SaaS application<\/strong> designed to integrate with SuccessFactors<\/strong> as an additional module. It can be used to manage the company's training plans <\/strong>from the building phase to the monitoring phase, in order to compare the forecast with execution and optimize where necessary.\u00a0<\/p>

Thanks to ClaPlan<\/strong>, informed decisions can be made to adjust training programs in line with the company's strategy and budget<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

ClaPlan<\/strong> was created to make up for the lack of forecasting<\/strong> and monitoring training plans functions<\/strong> into SuccessFactors<\/strong>.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Indeed, this application is mainly focused on the user and the consumption of on-demand training, without taking into account the importance of prioritize needs according to the corporate's budget<\/strong> and strategy<\/strong>. Our customers complained about the absence of visibility and the difficulty of materializing their plan-bluiding process in SuccessFactors.<\/p>

Thanks to ClaPlan<\/strong>, they can now create and monitor their forecasting plans upstream<\/strong>, while having a clear vision of what is actually being executed.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Having worked in a training department in the past, I realized how difficult it was to build training plans, which were generally drawn up in Excel, and were time-consuming and tedious. That's why we decided to create a specific tool<\/strong> to facilitate this process<\/strong>.<\/p>

Working with Florence<\/strong> (product owner)<\/em> and Mehdi<\/strong> (applications technical manager)<\/em>, who had similar experience, we identified the needs of training professionals<\/strong> and designed screen mock-ups for our solution. By soliciting feedback from potential customers through feedback sessions<\/strong>, we adjusted our initial design, taking their comments into consideration and choosing a new development language<\/strong> to get around the initial technical difficulties<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

After deploying our solution while considering <\/span>the technical limitations associated with SAP<\/strong>, we finally created <\/span>an application<\/strong> that met the expectations of training professionals. Our approach responds to a real market demand by drawing on our own experience, considering user\u2019s feedback to adjust our specifications before development, and creating a first version of the product that directly matches their expectations.<\/span><\/p>

As for the roadmap, it's made up of several elements: adjusting functionalities according to feedback from pilot customers, gathering their requests<\/strong> and feedbak for improvements<\/strong>, during rollouts, feeding back user queries via support to imagine new functionalities, and keeping an eye on<\/strong> legal changes<\/strong> that have an impact on the roadmap's orientations. This ensures that our product evolves in step with customer expectations, and still remains aligned.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
