Frequently asked questions

Why include a time estimate?

It is the main reason people defer training, and deferral is why deadlines get missed. "20 minutes" converts far better than an unknown commitment.

Why is the deadline in the first line?

Because 56% of real mandatory-training posts were flagged for lacking a clear deadline — the highest deadline-gap of any shape measured. If the date is buried, the reminder cycle does the work instead.

Should completion be tracked here or in the training system?

Completion belongs in the training system. The acknowledgment here tracks that the assignment was received, which is a different and equally auditable fact.
