Resources' Skills and Capacity Management
Hi,
I'd like to assign a set of skills to each resource. When a new project requires specific skills, I hope to quickly find the persons with those skills and have the capacity. But I didn't see how this is managed in Wrike, could you please provide some guidance?
Thanks very much!
Stephen,
Seems the above solution could provide a view that looks like a skill matrix, however, it would not be useful for being able to pull the data into any other type of views, such as where you are assign people to actual project tasks. Anyway to incorporate the data from that view into other views where resources are being signed?
Hi David Gelinas, welcome to the Community! 🙂
I think that Stephen meant using the Custom Fields, and you can definitely use them in different Wrike Views as filters to filter out the tasks with specific Custom Fields. I also wanted to mention Job Roles here - please check them out and let me know if that could be helpful in this case.

Skills management as a characteristic on a person I thought was in the roadmap? is this not the case? job role, is one per person, groups would become numerous and difficult to maintain versus attributes on a person. Would you confirm whether this is a roadmap item?
Hi Lizbeth Tommy, thank you for reaching out!
Could you please point me to a Product Feedback thread perhaps where skills management was discussed? I haven't heard about any particular plans to introduce this. One thing I can think of is the release of custom item types that happened last year. With them, you can turn regular tasks and projects into custom items that can be anything, including, for example, skills cards. Can that be helpful in your case?

It was at the Collaborate conference in 2020 or 2021 when they announced new functionality coming around skills in conjunction with workload forecasting charts so you can assign based on available capacity and skills. I also recently was wondering what happened with that initiative, as we could use it.
I think that it could have potentially been about Job Roles then. But I'll check with the team and if there's any upcoming functionality around that, I'll let you know 👍

Hi - Whatever happened with this? We're looking to use a skills matrix as well to assign resources to projects.
Hi Laura Thorn, welcome to the Community and thank you for bumping this thread!
This is something our Product team is planning to introduce, but we don't have a timeline for it yet.
Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with.

I would like a roadmap of development for 2023/2024. Is this available for the community or strictly 1:1 with the account team?
Hello! Was as a skills matrix feature ever built?

Basudha Sakshyarika my team would like to utilize the feature of adding skills to user profiles more in depth. Like previously stated, we would like to be able to pull a group of people who match the skills required for an upcoming project to see who has what skills and bandwidth to work on that project. Is this something the team is working on yet?
