How can we help you?

The Growth Portal allows teams and individuals to leverage the results of their assessments. Participants can analyze their results to see where they are now, decide where they want to go, and use multiple resources from the Growth Portal to highlight what they need to do to get there.

This guidance includes best practices, improvement tips, helpful downloadable resources, videos focused on Agile concepts and strategies, as well as opportunities to request help from internal or external coaches.

If your company has enabled this feature, you can access the Growth Portal in two ways:

• From within certain Assessment Results Radars. This is typically done at the time of your Retrospective Session.
• Use the icon at the top of the screen when you first log into AgilityHealth®. This is typically used in between your assessments. You can watch videos or utilize any of the resources for any competency at any time.

Note: Growth Portals do not exist for every team or talent development radar. 

Utilizing the Growth Portal in a Team Retrospective

Once the team has completed the assessment, the results are ready to be analyzed, usually during a retrospective session with an AgilityHealth® Facilitator.

To leverage the Growth Portal from the assessment, click on your team's name or avatar on the Team Dashboard. This will take you to your team’s Assessments Dashboard. Click on the specific assessment of interest to go to the radar results for that assessment will appear. 

To access the Growth Portal, click on a competency name (while in Detail view, this is the inner ring of the radar) to open the Competency Profile dialogue box.

The Competency Profile allows you to review the specific questions for that competency and the team's average response. To access the Growth Portal, click the Growth Portal button.

You can also visit the Growth Portal from the Analytics Table below the radar results by clicking on the competency name. In the Competency Profile, click the Growth Portal button to access growth resources for that specific competency.

Available Resources

The Growth Portal provides resources for each competency. Typically during a team Retrospective, you will break into groups to review the results of your assessment and determine your growth plan for the next quarter. The Growth Portal is the tool each group will use to determine which resources they would like to use to help complete growth items.

Once inside the Growth Portal, you will see specific resources available for the competency you have selected.

The team will want to review each resource and determine what they will use to complete growth items. The resources were created by our community of Enterprise Coaches, Agilists, and Partners. The categories include:

• Examples of what is Healthy and what is Unhealthy
• Actionable Recommendations
• Videos specific to the given competency
• Blogs, Articles, and Activities to use as Resources
• Ability to request an experienced Coach to meet with you or your team to learn and improve on the specific competency (if available for your company)

What is Healthy?

Dig deeper into what healthy and unhealthy look like, as well as explore what other competencies can impact (or be impacted) by this one. Review what "Healthy" looks like and what "Unhealthy" may look like. This allows the team to look at specific examples side by side and opens discussions to identify the areas you want to grow as a team.

Actionable Recommendations

Take action by implementing some of the growth recommendations created by AgilityHealth® or from other teams within your organization. Teams can share solutions they have successfully used. To learn how to share recommended solutions, visit Add a Solution to Growth Items.

Click "Pull into Growth Plan" within each recommendation to automatically create a Growth Item for the team within this specific assessment.

Info: "Pull into Growth Plan" is only available when the Growth Portal is accessed directly from an assessment. If you access the Growth Portal through the button in the top navigation of AgilityHealth, you will not be able to automatically create a Growth Item in a team Growth Plan.

The recommended item now shows as "Already Pulled" so you more than one person doesn't add the same item to the growth plan.

When your team reviews the Growth Plan, you will now see the item has been automatically pulled into your backlog for the assessment you are working on.

Related Videos

Watch videos to learn more about a specific competency and related topics. The videos are recommended based on the competency you are reviewing. Typically the team will add a video to the backlog and will plan to watch it within the next quarter. For each iteration, the Scrum Master will work with the team to keep these items visible in the backlog and help team members get them done.

Helpful Resources

View blogs and articles related to improving a specific competency. These resources are recommended based on the competency you are reviewing. Typically the team will add the Resource(s) to the backlog and will plan to review it within the next quarter. For each iteration, the Scrum Master will work with the team to keep these items visible in the backlog and help team members get them done.

Request a Coach

If this feature is set up for your company, the team can get help from seasoned coaches to enable growth. You can select Request Coach to schedule time with a specific individual coach.

Once you select Request Coach, a pop-up will appear so you can send an email directly to the seasoned coach.

To learn more about how to add coaches to your Growth Portal, please contact your Customer Success Manager.

Revisit the Growth Portal

Another way to access the Growth Portal is through the icon at the top of the screen when you first log into AgilityHealth. This is typically used in between your assessments. You can watch videos or utilize the resources for any competency at any time, which means you do not need to wait for the next retrospective to continue improving!

To access the Growth Portal from the icon at the top of the screen, log intoAgilityHealth and select Growth Portal in the upper right corner. 

This view of the Growth Portal is not specific to any one competency, but rather it allows you to review the reference material for each competency of a specific radar. Choose which radar you would like to view and then click "Select". 

Use the arrows in the left navigation to expand dimensions and sub-dimensions to drill down to the competency level. Then click on a competency to load the available resources for that competency.

Creating Custom Content

Your company can manage the content of the Growth Portal by adding/editing/deleting your own custom content. This allows your company to leverage your own resources such as recommendations for growth items, internal videos, blogs, and articles written by your coaches, as well as add your Coaches.  

To learn more about how to manage your own custom content, please contact your Customer Success Manager or email success@agilityhealthradar.com.
