Is a full LMS always required?

Not always. A learning management system (LMS) is the right answer when content delivery, assessment, and tracking all need to live in one place. For organisations whose primary problem is tracking and evidence — not delivery — a focused tracking workflow on top of existing content sources can deliver most of the compliance benefit at a fraction of the cost.

Does the system need to track the training content version?

Yes, where regulation applies. Both ISO 9001:2015 evidence requirements and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 expect the record to identify what was completed, not just that something was. Linking the completion to a specific course version is the cleanest way to satisfy this.

What is the cheapest first step?

Define the role-based obligation library (who must complete what) for the highest-exposure obligation set, in one shared place with a named owner. That alone closes most of the drift before any tooling investment.
