For the individuals & teams that we support, we want to know:
1. What skills do they have?
2. What skills do they think they need?
**User Stories:**
As a WMF Product or Technology team member,
I want to understand the breadth and depth of skills/tools/coding languages of individuals and teams,
So that when we assign work to teams that requires special expertise, we ensure that team has the required expertise,
And we can better understand training needs on our teams,
And we can better align owners/maintainers to our tools, services, and workstreams.
As a WMF Product or Technology team member,
I want to understand the skills/tools/coding languages in which I need experience & expertise,
So that I can provide value to my team and be successful in my roles/responsibilities.
**Acceptance Criteria:**
- A document (your choice of an internal Google doc/sheet, or a public-facing wiki page) that includes:
- A list of skills/tools/coding languages that the team thinks are relevant/valuable to the team
- A self-assessment of each Engineer, Tech Lead, Engineering Manager, Quality Test Engineer (QTE), and Data Scientist/Data Analyst on the team of their skill level against each skill/tool/coding language on the list.
- For final deliverable it's OK to report by team, not individually. If only one person on a team has "5" on a skill and everyone else is "1" or "2", might not want to list that skill
Skill levels should be standardized as follows:
| Numeric Value | Skill Level | Definition
| 1 | Minimal | New to you, or rudimentary comprehension
| 2 | Basic | Developing comprehension, gaining applied experience (not necessarily on Wikimedia projects)
| 3 | Intermediate | Deepening comprehension, applied experience on 1+ Wikimedia projects
| 4 | Advanced | Deep comprehension & applied experience within Wikimedia context; have not provided training to others
| 5 | Expert | Deep comprehension & applied experience within Wikimedia context; have provided training to others
//Optionally, consider including://
- Skills assessments for UX Designers, Design Researchers, Community Relations Specialists, Program Managers, Product Managers
