Agility Recovery SOAR Course Development
Knowledge base for the SOAR course development project with Agility Recovery, covering Storyline interactive simulations, facilitator manual, and asset sourcing strategy.
Client: [1]
Project Team: Isalia Ramirez (Asymmetric, developer), Mark Hope (Asymmetric), Gus Donelson (Agility Recovery, stakeholder)
Overview
Asymmetric is developing a SOAR sales training course for Agility Recovery using Articulate Storyline. The course includes interactive simulations of Agility's sales tools (Salesforce, ZoomInfo, SalesLoft, Co-Pilot), a facilitator manual, and supporting B-roll video content. As of January 2026, development is partially blocked pending vendor system access restoration.

Storyline Development Strategy
Goal
Build interactive Storyline simulations that allow learners to practice using Agility's sales tools (Salesforce, ZoomInfo, SalesLoft, Co-Pilot) within the course environment.
Constraint
Learners cannot access live production systems from within Articulate Storyline due to permissions and data security restrictions. Direct live-tool integration is not feasible.
Approved Workaround
Use interactive screenshots or screen recordings to simulate the tool environment. Learners interact with layered hotspots and text-entry fields overlaid on static or recorded visuals. This approach may appear slightly less polished but is appropriate for the current development phase.
"It will simulate the environment. It might look a little clunky, but we're learning." — Isalia Ramirez, 2026-01-09 sync
Asset Sourcing Options (in priority order)
- Direct access — Isalia gets vendor credentials to Salesforce, ZoomInfo, SalesLoft, Co-Pilot (preferred; blocked as of 2026-01-09)
- Abby-assisted capture — Isalia provides a task-by-task script; Abby (Agility internal) records or screenshots each step and uploads to SharePoint
- Abby joins development calls — If access cannot be granted, Abby participates directly in development sessions
Gus to consult Abby on which option is feasible and report back at the next Friday call.
Access Blockers
Current Status (as of 2026-01-09)
Isalia's vendor access to Agility's systems was revoked due to a company-wide vendor access policy change. She was previously approved as a vendor but was caught in the reset.
Systems affected:
- Salesforce
- ZoomInfo
- SalesLoft
- SharePoint / OneDrive
- Microsoft Co-Pilot (full/360 license)
Resolution Path
- Ranjit (Agility IT contact) — Gus messaged via email and Teams to restore general system access; awaiting response
- Xerox — Gus to email requesting full Co-Pilot 360 license for Isalia; Isalia to be CC'd
Until access is restored, Isalia cannot meaningfully advance the interactive Storyline modules.
Course Content Notes
New Hire Feedback — "Single Point of Failure" Claim
A new hire with 25 years of generator sales experience flagged an inaccuracy during initial course review:
- Issue: The course states that Agility's plan prevents a "single point of failure" — the new hire noted this is incorrect; failure is still possible.
- Action: Gus to identify the specific slide/module; content to be corrected before broader rollout.
- Significance: Validates the course review process and the value of real-world SME feedback early in development.
B-Roll Video
- Gus and Agility's marketing director will capture B-roll at the Sales Kickoff (SKO) using iPhones
- Gus has the B-roll shot list (53 pages provided by Asymmetric) printed and in his bag
- Gus to create a prioritized direction document on the plane to Arizona (Saturday travel)
- Not all shots will be captured; focus on highest-priority items
