Define the job first
The gap between learning delivery and compliance evidence
An LMS may show course completion, but many compliance records also include external certificates, professional registrations, CPD, appraisals and manual checks.
Teams often still need spreadsheets to track training completed outside the LMS.
Audit preparation can require evidence from several systems and shared folders.
Managers need a clear compliance evidence software workflow, not only course launch and completion data.
