Learn how to access actionable data from the Insights dashboard to optimize pipelines and get even more out of CircleCI.
Welcome to the Insights Course
In this course, you’ll learn how to track status, monitor duration, and optimize your CircleCI pipelines using the Insights dashboard.
Who should take this course?
This course is designed for CircleCI developers using our cloud-hosted solution. You should be familiar with managing source code in GitHub or Bitbucket, have a working knowledge of editing YAML files, and experience using command line utilities to automate builds and deploys for the technology stack at your organization. While some topics in this course feature Python in use cases, it is code-agnostic overall. The course assumes you have a clear understanding of the commands appropriate for your tooling — how to build, test, and deploy projects.
If you are just starting out with CircleCI, you may consider taking our beginner-level course, General Developer Training.
