Item by Item (IBI) has launched a new D365 Engineering Change Management (ECM) curriculum designed to streamline product design changes and improve collaboration between engineering, production, and supply chain teams. This training initiative targets organizations using Microsoft D365, aiming to transform how they manage product development and change processes within this ecosystem.
The curriculum is organized into four learning paths and 35 micro-courses, each tailored to specific roles: Design Engineer – Setup, Design Engineer – Management, Product Coordinator, and Change Requester. This role-based approach ensures team members can effectively use Microsoft D365 ECM to handle product data, version control, and change procedures, which may lead to better product quality and fewer production delays. Elif Item, Founder and CEO of Item by Item, noted the adaptability of the D365 ECM functionality, stating it can make new product introductions and change processes easier and more streamlined. She emphasized that the curriculum allows organizations to leverage this functionality quickly without disrupting current operations.
The curriculum is available on the IBI Learning Platform, which features over 1,300 micro-courses, 90 learning paths, and 230 assessments across various Microsoft D365 products. This platform serves as a key resource for professionals looking to build skills in Dynamics 365 applications, including Finance, Supply Chain, Commerce, Sales, Customer Service, and Field Service. For HR vendors and industry stakeholders, this launch represents a significant advancement in professional training for Microsoft D365 users, offering a comprehensive solution to engineering change management challenges.
By providing teams with targeted knowledge and tools, IBI is facilitating improved efficiency and collaboration in product development. This could impact the human resources and talent management sector by highlighting the growing need for specialized technical training in enterprise systems. Vendors selling into HR may observe increased demand for similar role-based learning solutions as organizations seek to optimize their D365 implementations. The curriculum's focus on cross-functional collaboration underscores a broader trend toward integrated workflows, which could influence how HR technology vendors design and market their products to support seamless team interactions and change management processes.
