What is a Skill?

Skills are the building blocks of Progression. They are used to define frameworks and positions and are leveraged for check-ins and logging activity.

Skills are made up of level requirements, which specify how someone can demonstrate the skill at a range of seniority levels.

Skills can be shared across positions and even discipline teams, making them a powerful way to let individuals identify and plan their growth path.
