Storyline competency matrix

I don't have a matrix or even a list of core skills. But I'll suggest this: If you can, look at the outlines for DavidAnderson​'s LinkedIn Learning courses or any other program that teaches Storyline. What they cover could give you a good idea of what to include in your list. 

Or just look at the Storyline tutorials provided by Articulate ( Storyline | Articulate - Community) to see the typical progression of skills.

BTW, on 2025-10-29, I'll be the guest host for an Articulate webinar: Top 10 Tips for New Storyline Users. The recording will eventually be added to the site as on-demand training. Registration for that is here: Top 10 Tips for New Storyline Users | Articulate - Community 

This is a really interesting question. I would second JudyNollet​'s point about checking out our training progression to get a sense of the core skills. 

One way I would think about this is starting with an understanding of slides, layers, states, and triggers and having a basic understanding of how to combine them to create an interaction as a baseline. I'm a big fan of tab interactions as a way to start playing with those basic skills. 

Then I think a lot of how you would increase complexity is literally increasing the number of those layers/states etc that you use to create more complex and realistic scenarios, and slowly layering in more features. Then, introducing more sophisticated design elements and possibly even leaning into custom coded solutions as a final progression. I would also think about introducing a competency area around how they make use of AI Assistant to speed work as you think this through. 

Since my teammate AlyssaGomez​ works a lot on these training progressions herself I'm pretty curious how she would think about a "competency ladder." And, if you do make a tool like this I'd love to see it shared back in the community!
