ADDIE Model

What is ADDIE Model?

Trainers and instructional designers use the ADDIE model to create structured, effective training programs. Its five phases — Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate — provide a systematic approach to identifying learning needs, building course content, delivering training, and measuring results.

Why ADDIE Model Matters

Originally developed in the 1970s for the US military, the ADDIE framework has since become one of the most widely adopted instructional design methodologies across industries. HR and learning and development teams rely on it to ensure that training initiatives are aligned with business objectives, meet the needs of learners, and deliver measurable outcomes. Each phase builds on the previous one, and the Evaluate stage feeds insights back into the cycle for continuous improvement.
