Analysis is the first letter in the model ADDIE.  Analysis is a foundational phase that involves systematically identifying and understanding the learning needs, goals, and objectives that will guide the design and development of educational programs. This phase is critical for ensuring that the instructional materials and strategies are tailored to address the specific requirements of the learners and the organization. By conducting thorough analyses, instructional designers can create effective, relevant, and impactful learning experiences. 

Some types of analyses include: 

• Needs Analysis or Needs Assessment 
• Learner Analysis 
• Task Analysis 
• Environment or Contextual Analysis 
• Content Analysis 
• Gap Analysis
