Formation of the IT project team based on the competence characteristics of the staff

Abstract

Background. The paper deals with the problems of IT project team formation using staff competences assessment. Methods. Multi-agent method based on competences matrix analysis is used. Results. The task of forming a project team to develop and implement IT systems in terms of limiting the number of human resources is described. Based on the definition of competency indicators of employees of the company or contractors involved in the implementation of project work, a method of forming a project team involves analysis of competency matrices. When attracting employees to project work that requires the existing competencies and the appropriate level of these competencies, it is proposed to use the values of the characteristics of staff for the selected functionality. On the example of a company for implementing IT systems, an algorithm for forming a project team based on the values of functional competencies is proposed. Forms for the formation of the structure of project commands according to functional tasks of the project and minimum-admissible levels of sizes of characteristics of qualification for performance of these tasks have been designed. Matrices of elements and indicators of labor resources are constructed to determine the possibilities of involving them in the project teams as executors. An algorithm for generating project team members based on the requirements for project tasks and indicators of human resources competence has been built. The forecast of indicators of the probability of involvement of each separate labor resource in the project team structure for development and introduction of information systems is performed. Сonclusions. With account of the practical implementation of the method, the conclusion is made that proposed method allows one to not only form project teams but also pose problems for the company leadership as to either increasing qualification of their staff or searching for new personnel with proper qualifications.
