Message ID: MC1075900
Coming soon for Microsoft Viva Insights: The Skills landscape report, a new Microsoft Power BI report in the advanced insights app that introduces the skills landscape in your organization, powered by People Skills data. With this report, analysts and leaders can understand People Skills data and its usage in the organization, browse commonly used skills and areas of skills specialization, see how groups of skills are distributed across your groups, and explore the skills hierarchy.
A Microsoft 365 Copilot, Viva Suite, or Viva Insights license is required to enable People Skills data in Viva Insights.
This message applies to the Viva Insights web app.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 491022.
[When this will happen]
Public Preview: We will begin rolling out late June 2025 and expect to complete by late July 2025.
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late July 2025 and expect to complete by late August 2025.
[How this will affect your organization]
Insights analysts will have access to a new Skills landscape Power BI template in the advanced insights app:
After setting up the report in Power BI, users will be able to access aggregated skills insights for their organization and use these to support use cases such as identifying skill gaps, optimizing workforce distribution, and promoting upskilling:
With this report, users can:
- Understand People Skills data and its usage
- Browse commonly used skills and areas of skills specialization
- See how groups of skills are distributed in your organization
- Explore skills hierarchy
[What you need to do to prepare]
This report template will be available in the advanced insights app with no admin action required, but the following steps are required for the Skills landscape report to process successfully:
- Before users in your organization can run this report, you must set up People Skills and enable the People Skills data in Viva Insights. Most organizations can quickly set up People Skills using the out-of-the-box skills library. You also have the option to curate your own library by importing custom skills. During the setup, make sure to select the option to allow People Skills in Viva Insights. After these settings are confirmed, it can take a few days for People Skills data to be processed and ingested in Viva Insights.
- To enable People Skills data in one or more of your Viva Insights partitions, make sure your Insights administrator include this dataset when creating or editing a partition. This will become available once public preview starts.
- Please make sure Insights analysts and users in your organization are aware of this upcoming change and direct them to the Skills landscape report documentation to learn more about how to use this report.

The upcoming introduction of the Skills Landscape report in Microsoft Viva Insights is set to bring a wave of positive change for both admins and users. This new feature, scheduled for public preview starting late June 2025, will empower analysts and leaders to leverage People Skills data more effectively, ultimately enhancing organizational performance.
For admins, the setup process is straightforward. With minimal action required, they can simply enable People Skills data in Viva Insights. This means no extensive training sessions or complex installations—just a few clicks and voilà! Admins will appreciate the ease of integrating this tool into their existing systems, allowing them to focus on other pressing tasks (like perfecting their coffee-making skills!).
Users, on the other hand, will find themselves with a treasure trove of insights at their fingertips. The Skills Landscape report will enable them to identify skill gaps, optimize workforce distribution, and promote upskilling initiatives. Imagine having the ability to browse commonly used skills and see how they’re distributed across teams—it’s like having a GPS for talent management!
The impact of these changes is likely to be significant. Organizations can expect improved employee engagement and productivity as they harness the power of data-driven insights to support their workforce development strategies. It’s a win-win situation that could also lead to a more agile and responsive organization.
