TECHNICAL LEARNING ROADMAPS AND LEARNING

PLAYLISTS
Technologies / Tools / Techniques / Practices

WHAT ARE TECHNICAL LEARNING ROADMAPS AND LEARNING PLAYLISTS?
Roadmaps provide an overarching view of core knowledge domains and
related capabilities for a CATS (Competitive Advantage Talent Segment) or
Chapter Area. Each domain has a learning plan that provides our workforce
with all the learning available to them by technique and skill level.
HOW DO YOU USE ROADMAPS/LEARNING PLAYLISTS?
Roadmaps are a self service tool. They can be used by individuals or at the
Function/Chapter/Group level to source suitable learning based on your
particular needs.

For each domain, the tools, techniques, technologies and practice that are
core across all applications of a particular stream have been identified i.e.
Software Engineering. This role agnostic approach allows
Functions/Chapters and Groups to match and pull the required skills from
all roadmaps.
HOW DO I ACCESS OTHER ROADMAPS?
Roadmaps, as they become available, are stored in workday. The seven
available/in development are listed below along with the related domains.
