The Priority Triangle

DSA employees need to use a large number of programs and applications on their IT systems in their workflow. new employees may differ in their skill level with all these applications. To help them build up their skill levels we have designed this training page which provides training paths to a large number of widely used programs and applications. This page is organized according to the Priority Triangle to make it easy for employees to sequence their learning based on the priority of usage of the programs and applications. The Priority Learning Triangle is an effective way of covering large contents of training and for learning new tools and technologies.

This set of training is called Vital training. These are the training that we feel a new employee must know well within 30 days from the start date. They are mostly related to storage drives and the communication channels they would use with their teams. Some of them are:
