Plan for success
Identify how Pluralsight Skills will help your team
First, discuss business objectives, success metrics, and timelines with your tech leader. Identify subject matter experts who can help curate content and advocate for people at your organization adopting Skills.
You can share this one-sheet (PDF, opens in new tab) with stakeholders whose buy-in will be crucial to a successful launch of Skills at your organization.
Get inspired by Joel Crabb of Target’s talk on growing a learning culture (opens in new tab), presented at Pluralsight Live 2018.
Note: You'll need to assign a learning license to yourself to watch this clip, even if you already have plan admin access.
Some questions to get you started
- Who in your organization is using Skills?
- What specific skills does your team need to skill up in?
- What challenges does your team and/or organization face?
- What features seem most aligned to help you tackle those challenges?
- Thinking about the people in your organization who will use Skills, how will you group them into teams?
Thinking through this last question will help you when it's time to Invite your team. You'll be able to choose team managers who can see and encourage team members' skill development.
See the Pre-launch checklist for more questions to prepare you for launch.

Prepare for launch
Download and customize these posters (ZIP file download, 5.1MB) and screen images (ZIP file download, 6.2MB) to get the word out about Skills.
Use this email template (PDF, opens in new tab) to make sure your team is aware of the launch, when they can log in, and what they need to do.
Address technical requirements
Give these requirements to your organization's IT team to add Pluralsight's IP addresses and email domains to your allowlist. Why? If Pluralsight's IP addresses and email domains aren't on the allowlist, this can slow down or prevent your team from getting plan invites and important notifications.
What's next
Invite your team. Educate and organize your teams, set your team managers, and invite your learners to the Skills platform.
