We are in the process of preparing a skill matrix for a relatively young IT organization. We have been going through some templates and still do not feel comfortable with what we have found. Basically, the idea is to have something less cumbersome to maintain and to cover all levels of the organization ( TechLead , Senior Software Engineers , Software Engineers so on). Does anyone have any innovative ideas to share in this regard ?

what is the skill matrix for? To clearly separate the different grades/levels of experience? Will it be used for performance reviews? – Al Biglan Jul 18 '11 at 03:57

Programmer/Developer only or operations staff, too? – SBWorks Jul 21 '11 at 03:13

Only development staff for the moment. – Bumble Bee Jul 21 '11 at 04:32

While this question may have been on-topic at one point in the site's history, it would now be considered off-topic as a list-generating question without a canonical answer. It can be kept around as an historical artifact from PMSE's early days. – Todd A. Jacobs May 14 '19 at 13:02

Have you seen the programmer competancy matrix? Maybe it'll prove useful.

Really awesome! It can also be used by developers for self evaluation and/or improvement. – Romi Halasz Mar 06 '12 at 16:15

Link-only answers often rot. Good answers on PMSE should contain some context and some attributed quotes to make the information accessible without having to chase down a link. – Todd A. Jacobs May 14 '19 at 13:03

I certainly see no need to try to reinvent the wheel. If the programmer competency matrix (as suggested in the answer from karunesh)is not a good fit, what about SFIA - Skills Framework for the Information Age - see http://www.sfia.org.uk/ which can be taken further in the shape of SFIA Plus - see also http://www.bcs.org/category/7852.
