Plan for Learning, Reduce Risk: Using a Skills Matrix in Software Delivery
What happens when the one person who knows how to do something is suddenly unavailable?
Or when your team needs to learn a new technology, but that learning never made it into the delivery plan?
A skills matrix can be a surprisingly useful tool for making these risks visible and planning for them.
In this practical session, we'll explore how to use a skills matrix as part of delivery planning and risk management.
We'll cover
- What is a skills matrix?
- How can it help with planning?
- How can it reduce risk?
- How do you use it without turning it into a performance-management tool?
- What should you look out for?
At the end
We'll open up the conversation for discussion.
Bring your own examples and questions. We'd love to hear how your team currently thinks about skills, learning and delivery risk.
Who is this for?
People working in:
- Delivery Management
- Product
- Engineering
- Tech Leadership
- Agile teams
You don't need to be using a skills matrix already. Come along if you're curious about whether it could be useful for your team.
The goal isn't to know everything. It's to make the important unknowns visible early enough to do something about them.
