Project-based Skills Matrix
A Skills Matrix for a project is a tool used to map out the skills and competencies of team members in relation to the needs of the project. It helps to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the team, identify skill gaps, and ensure the right expertise is applied to the right tasks.
In a Project Skills Matrix, the skills are typically divided into Technical skills, Project management skills, Soft skills, Domain-specific knowledge, Functional skills, project-specific competencies, and even Certifications and qualifications.
