The Analysis phase actually is comprised of multiple types of analysis, each designed to answer specific questions and define the instructional design project:
 * Analysis Types **


 * ** Analysis Phase ** || ** Question to be answered ** ||
 * Problem Identification || Why is the training (or, possibly, a non-training intervention) needed? ||
 * Contextual Analysis || Where will the training take place? ||
 * Audience Analysis (Learner Characteristics) || Who needs to be trained? ||
 * Content Analysis || What do they need to know? ||
 * Delivery Analysis || How will the training be delivered? ||
 * Project Plan || When will the training be delivered? ||

There are many tools you can use to perform this part of the analysis including:
 * Problem Identification Tool Box **
 * Tool || Description || When to Use ||
 * Needs Assessment || Identify gaps in performance || When a need has not been identified yet. This can actually identify the instructional problem in the first place. ||
 * Goal Analysis || Use a group of experts to identify the goals of an identified need. || When there has been input suggesting a problem or need. ||
 * Performance Assessment || Study performance related to the identified problem to find the source of the problem. || When a problem has been perceived, but it is unclear whether training is a solution. ||
 * Job Analysis || List all the tasks required to perform a specific job. || To create initial training or instruction for various tasks. ||
