For engineering managers

Get your team to use the training you pay for

Most libraries sell the seats and leave the rest to you. Our app lets you assign a course with a due date, then shows you by name who started and who is behind.

  2. 2Overdue and upcoming counts, with the names behind them.

Low engagement

Fifty seats bought. Two people used them.

Your last library's answer was a reminder email. Ours is built around what gets a course opened: a manager asking for it by a date.

Out of 50 engineers, 2 took me up on the offer.

What gets a library used

Usage follows the manager

Most libraries sell access and leave the asking to you. Each fix that admins say got their library used is a feature in our app.

  1. None of it is assigned as mandatory, but managers from different departments assign their staff courses.

    Assign It with a Date

    Give a person a course, a skill or a whole role, with a due date on it.

  2. If you tie it in to a career progression ladder [...] I think it would work pretty well!

    A commenter on r/ITManagers, 2022

    Set a Target Role

    Pick the job they're working towards. The app orders the skills it needs.

  3. What did work, however, was to tie that in with a real project.

    Say Why in the Note

    Every assignment carries a note. Tie the course to the ticket it's for.

Assignments

Assign a course with a due date and a reason

Your last library left the chasing to a spreadsheet. Here each course carries a note on the work it's for, with who is behind shown by name.

Target roles

Set the job they're working towards

Most libraries give you a course list in no order. Pick a role such as AI Engineer and the app lines up its skills, with the courses and hours behind each.

Skills passport

A dated record of every skill they earn

Most libraries count logins and completions. Our passport marks a skill verified once someone finishes its courses, with the date it was earned.

The ExpertEdge skills passport: roles and skills earned, completions, progress towards the target role and each verified skill with its date
  1. 1Roles and skills earned, with the completions behind them.
  2. 2How far the person is towards their target role.
  3. 3Each verified skill, with the date it was earned.

It turns into a numbers farm without anything beneficial coming away from it.

Time to learn

Plan the hours into the sprint

Every survey that asks puts time first among the reasons people don't learn. Each skill here shows its hours, so you can book three a sprint and see which sprint finishes each course.

Reports

See who did the work before the renewal

Other vendors send usage as an export or through a success manager. Ours shows hours, completions and sessions by person, with the activity log behind each number.

The ExpertEdge reports screen: standings by member, a 30-day sessions trend and the period's activity totals
  1. 1Standings for each person, by hours, completions or sessions.
  2. 2A thirty-day trend you can drop straight into your deck.
  3. 3Launches, completions and who was active over the period.

My justification was 1 course completion a month [...] to justify annual subscription.

No minimum seats

Buy a seat for each person you'll assign

Plenty of team plans sell seats in packs or set a minimum spend. Start with the one team you mean to assign and pay for those seats alone.

Before your budget review

What we can't promise you

  • We can't make anyone learn

    An assignment puts the course in front of them. We have no completion rates of our own to show you yet.

  • Self-reported stays marked

    A skill someone adds without the courses is marked self-reported. It never shows up as verified.

  • Not on Essentials

    Assignments, roles and reports come with the professional plans. The LMS-only Essentials plan has none of them.

When the renewal comes, every hour and completion is on record by name.

Next step

Bring last year's usage report

Show us where the seats went quiet. We'll talk through how you'd assign the first team and what you'd report at renewal.
