What Is a Skills Profiles Dashboard

The Skill Profiles dashboard is a tool in Cloud Academy where administrators and team managers can:

  • Get a clearer picture of the skills present in your company
  • See how training is increasing those skills over time
  • Compare teams' skills
    Tip: Friendly competitions between teams can be useful to engage users
  • Find people already in your company who have the skills you need for a particular job role or project.

The graphic below shows an example of the Skills Profile dashboard:

At the top is a row of filters where you limit what information appears on the dashboard. The filters are:
  • Subject: Choose the scope of the data to include in the dashboard.
  • Segment by: Choose Platform, Domain, Concept, Software/Tool, or Team.
  • Segments: The values of the category you chose in the Segment by field. For example, if you chose Team in the Segment by field, then your three top-performing teams appear here. You can remove a segment from the dashboard by clicking the X next to the name. If additional Segments are available to add, you can click the + button to add up to five.
Once you've chosen the values to filter on, the Skills Profile dashboard shows data in three major sections:
  • Overall: This section shows bar graphs of the team's proficiency with the segment values you chose.
  • Skill Growth Rate: The week-over-week percentage increase in skills for a given time period. These values are computed using the ongoing difference between current Skill Profiles scores and the first baselined Skill Profile score for each individual in a given skill. Skill Growth Rate is displayed for a segment by aggregating differences across that segment to show the percentage increase.
  • Top Users in your Organization: A list of users in your team with the highest scores in the skills you are looking at.
