Once you reach the part where you're documenting when it breathe, then you know you've done too much!
Hehe sorry I can't be of much more help...but I think a lot of ID requires judgment calls and it's kind of hard to teach judgment. So I guess this is something you have to learn through experience!
That's a great question. I believe the answer varies from project to project and issue to issue. I know I was getting caught up in this while considering subordinate skills needed for entry behaviors to successfully achieve the instructional goal. I also started thinking about all the different kinds of learners we as teachers have including all learning modalities, learning and physical disabilities, background experience (or lack thereof), language concerns, and on and on. Our group had to come to a point and understand although it was helpful to consider many types of learners and perspectives, the "what if" scenarios actually can become more of a distraction from the goal at hand. Maybe that's a possible way to determine when analysis has reached the threshold; when you become so focused on accounting for every possible condition and circumstance that you deviate from your instructional goal/objective.
I realize that yardstick is not necessarily finite, and as stated previously, that threshold will change each time you go through the ADDIE process. Further, I think even if you've "covered" every possibility in analysis, often unknown or hidden factors may arise. Therefore retaining the flexibility to vascillate between steps either for re-evaluation or design change for increased effectiveness or efficiency, etc. is vital, especially in recognizing this before the process has been "completed." Then again, is the process really "completed?" (I'm not so sure because processes evolve as technology evolves as thinking evolves, but that conversation is for an entirely different post. :) )
So, I'm not sure your question can be answered with a specific response because needs vary and the answer may be different each time you apply the process.
