Hi,
I completed Technical competency mapping for my group recently. here are the steps i followed:
1) Group identifies the core technical competencies required to execute the projects successfully based on the projects forecast.
2) From the impact matrix, prioritise or chose the focus areas.
3) Create a dictionary of these competencies. Clearly define the skill sets , abilities for level 1 to 4.
4) All team members to use the dictionary and rate themselves for their respective functional areas. Supervisors to discuss with the individuals and correct the ratings where ever necessary.
5) Represent this on a chart such that you have a good visual on the teams total ratings for various competencies.
6) Set goals, analyse gaps and plan training.
