IT Skill Set Inventory

Author(s): Jennifer Perrier

Employees are assets, and the skills they hold are important tools that must be documented, tracked, and assessed in order to be effectively leveraged. Fully understanding what skills are available and what will be needed going forward are key to planning resource allocation.

Use this tool to:

  • List and rate the IT department's skill set arsenal.
  • Identify what skills are missing.
  • Forecast what will be needed in the future.

Completing this exercise will help determine where hiring, training, or even reductions are in order to achieve an agile and balanced set of IT skills.

This downloadable tool is associated with the research note, “Creating an Agile Workforce in the New Economy.”
