Resource Skills and scoring

[ScottC55]

Is there a way to create multiple skills for a resource and do any scoring
for those skills? For example, we'd like to be able to assemble a team based
on particular business expertise and also their technical skills and somehow
have a ranking system so that we can determine how best to staff a project.
(Example - order management, java developer, data warehousing ETL, & database
administration.)

I'd doubt it but was hoping someone - perhaps Gary might have an idea.

Thanks all!

Hi,

Project Server provides some capability along these lines. You can assign
various skills to each resource and create generic resources (EG java
developer). Then the substitution wizard finds the resources with required
skills that is also available and proposes them for you to accept or reject.

Can you add multiple skills per resource? I was under the impression that
you can only have one skill per resource in the rbs.

Thanks for the response.

RBS is normally for hierarchical location or management. Use the Resource
Outline codes for skills. Outline codes 21-28 are multi-select capable.
