Skills Requirement Worksheet and Checklist

Instructions

Use this form to list the actual skills you'll need to finish your project on a milestone or
task-by-task basis. Next, use the checklist to help you refine how to choose the right
people with the right skills for your project team.

First, Ask Yourself Three Important Questions

What skills are required to complete the tasks on your project?

Where will the people come to complete the tasks?

How do you want to organize the people working on the project? (This
impacts whether you need supervisory personnel!)

Matching Skills to Work Breakdown Structure

Use a structured approach relating to your project’s work breakdown structure (WBS) to
answer the following questions for each task in the project.

Is there a specific skill or combination of skills required to complete this


task?

How much experience should the person/people have to complete this task?

Does a person need to have specific experience doing this task, or can
general experience be applied? (If so, what general experience is required?)

In addition to technical skills, are there any specific interpersonal skills


required to complete this task competently and effectively, such as good
written or verbal communication skills, negotiating or diplomacy skills,
management ability, or ability to speak a foreign language?

would they be organized by job title and job function?

More Questions

If you could choose anyone you wanted for your team, who would these people be?
Why? (Think about skills and personality for each person you choose.)

Given the team you can actually get to work with, what levels of supervision will be
required?

Where will the people come from? From talent inside your department? Outside
hires? Consultants?

Are the people you are considering available, ready, willing and able?

Can you afford the people you want to hire for this project? (If you must turn to
outside sources, keep in mind that consultants, experts and labor cost big money.)

Will this project demand that already overburdened people take on more
responsibility? If so, how do you plan to avoid burnout?
