I really don’t know what’s changed, we got so many updates when Cadet Portal first launched, but get essentially nothing with Units and Learn.

Months on, it’s never been used here. I don’t think my CO or Adj are aware of it.
sorry, it?
I pity everyone… you all still beliebe a viable learning platform is still coming…
Units.
I know we have access. I also know it’s not been looked at once.
Morning all,
I think it is fair to say that we have learnt a lot over the past year in building Learn and Units, both projects have been significant and where they have clashed with other non-negotiable work such as the JPA move and the move of our infrastructure to a new MOD environment, our progress has been slower than we would have liked it to be.
Communications around the projects has been slower, we don’t have a dedicated comms role anymore and that often means that where the focus is on doing the work itself, the updates have become less frequent, I’ll take this away to explore though because we do want to keep people informed as much as we can.
As to where we’re at at the moment, Units is still live with North region and Herts & Bucks, we continue working with volunteers and permanent staff to refine some of the processes there before launching it to the wider organisation. Learn is now live with North region and Herts & Bucks, we’ll be monitoring this with the volunteers and cadets using it before we roll out to the rest of the organisation.
We really do want to get these platforms out there, the initial launch of the platforms is key for us to return to a more agile release programme which is where we want to be. The biggest change we have to adjust to is that unlike Cadet Portal, the system we’re working on now are changing significant policy and process across the administration of the organisation and getting that right with colleagues that have to process claims, administer data etc is key and we’ve had to take much more time unpicking those areas than we had to with Cadet Portal.
Hopefully we’ll have some really exciting releases soon!

Much appreciated on the update.
It certainly seems things are slower than expected, but that isn’t really a surprise! It is a big undertaking after all. I remember someone talking about the project in the early days saying the code is almost the easy but, the hard bit is realising there’s different policy for the same things and it all needs realigning for the digital system to come together properly. Not sure if that is still true in this case!
I’m certainly looking forward to Units; Mostly because that then means Learn can finally be deployed!

How long ago, out of interest?
Reason I ask is that we just got the message and the invite to tonight’s session sent out across the Wing.
Less than 1hr’s notice.
Don’t expect high attendance.
It was launched to North Region in 30 Aug 22 according to the Bader Hub
Edit to add Link - Units Beta Launch to North Region
What I have seen of Bader learn looks good, can we just get on with pressing the GO button as cadets would really get the benefits and we finally be rid of ulti ‘learn’. If release is waiting until it is ready, it will never be ready. My concern is it is currently the wrong side of the firewalk for cadets to access at their own pace but that said what is there is an excellent step forward. When it is launched it will provide A good opportunity for continuous development.,
Any updates or information on both Units and RAFAC Learn? Really struggling finding info on the Bader Hub. Will be good to see how it will look and the MVP
This update yesterday? Or were you hoping for more?
Was hoping to see the actual scope and MVP. Like how is this going to work? Bader hub I’m finding not very user friendly
The last SharePoint update regarding units highlighted the launch to North region which included links to some video content and other articles. Sign in to your account

I’ve asked our OC about this and he’s not even looked at it. I’ve logged in and see no cadets or staff listed. Is he supposed to assign things to us CI’s or is it meant to be empty?
Your OC needs to login and allocate roles (appointments) more details on how to do this available on the Bader Hub.
Better odds of this

Why has units been rolled out and seemingly unless i have this wrong… sms not been switched off in those areas…
Which right minded person, will use a developmental system in a voluntary role by choice, as extra effort to deliver what the current system can
Even if ‘for the greater good’
No wonder people on here are saying they havent seen it. Sqn OCs arent stupid. We dont make extra work for oursleves normally!
