New to Pluralsight Skills

We’ve increased the number of certifications available in our Skills product, and we now provide workshops that are customized training programs that aim to assist teams in reaching goals quicker.
We recently launched two new experiences to make upskilling more efficient.
Introducing: Cloud labs
Digital learning is a process that requires three components to be relevant, high-quality content, assessment capabilities that create a digital feedback loop as well as hands-on learning opportunities to test and practice new abilities. In this year’s edition, we will double down on our previous year by extending our hands-on learning offerings by introducing cloud labs.
Cloud labs provide step-by-step training in virtual cloud environments. We’ve built over 100 cloud labs in AWS and Azure We also offer more than 400 independent Google Cloud labs powered by Qwiklabs.
Our labs, along with over 7700 cloud-connected courses, skill assessments, and analytics, provide tech leaders with a unique, comprehensive, complete solution to developing skills.
This means you do not have to join multiple vendors to develop cloud expertise. Pluralsight provides everything you need to run your multi or hybrid cloud strategy across all cloud-related and cloud-related roles. Explore it.
Introducing: Priorities
Achieving alignment between business objectives and skill development is essential, but it’s a lot more complicated to get done – up to now.
There’s no need to guess what skills you need or what you need to do to bring your team up to level. Through our newly developed priorities expertise, you’ll be able to visually connect your current skills, the skills you require, and the progress that team members are making all in one spot.
In the priority section, you’ll find carefully crafted templates populated with information and assessments aligned with the most popular technology-related projects. For instance, when your top business goal is moving from on-prem into a hybrid cloud, you can access the content and assessments on cloud basics, structures, infrastructure, and more. These templates ensure you save time creating the plan to develop your skills starting from scratch and that your team gets up and running faster.
As your team members grow your team’s skills, you can use tests to track how they’ve improved in their proficiency in time, ensuring that your team is well-prepared to tackle the task. You can also determine the time it takes teams to become proficient so that you can create an informed decision on your next venture. If you look back on the example of hybrid cloud prioritization, you may find that your team was proficient in cloud basics in just 45 days but still needs to upgrade their cloud architecture knowledge. So you can schedule 45 days of learning and ensure that the right tools have been acquired to meet the deadlines for delivery.
New to Pluralsight Flow
This is a world that’s driven by data. Many engineering teams have disparate information, which they’re putting together using intuition and stories. Pluralsight Flow, our engineering analytics platform, gives insight into how teams work.
To provide teams with more useful information, Flow now gives you insight into what’s happening in your user stories, tasks, or bugs so you can know the processes your team is using and find lasting improvements for your workflow.
Introduce the delivery module
Overly frequent questions, task switching, and the necessity to assign or delay tickets impede your process and prevent your engineers from performing their best work, and delivering quality to your clients.
Pluralsight Flow already delivers insights from pull request information. With the introduction of delivery modules, it is now completely integrated into Jira to provide your team with an insight into their workflow. In contrast to Jira burndown charts or control charts, which measure the overall progress towards a plan, Flow offers insight into the human interactions that drive the work.
