Qualification Importance Ratings

Often for an assignment, some qualifications are more important than others. This is a different consideration than the desired level of competency proficiency. For example, a project may have two software programs to develop—one in PeopleSoft Application Engine and one in PeopleCode. The total amount of work is appropriate for a single resource. The PeopleSoft Application Engine program is difficult and requires a high degree of expertise, while the PeopleCode program is fairly straightforward. The PeopleSoft Application Engine program performs a peripheral function, and the PeopleCode program is essential to the day-to-day operation of the system. When searching for a resource to staff to this project, you can specify a high PeopleSoft Application Engine proficiency as desired, and at least an average PeopleCode proficiency as required.

You can specify an importance rating to each requested competency and accomplishment. The rating choices are Desired and Required. Marking a qualification as required indicates that you will only consider resources with at least the requested qualification. If the qualification type is a competency, marking it required indicates that resources must have at least the specified proficiency and requested number of years of experience for the competency.

Resources who don't have a required accomplishment fail the Accomplishment factor. Resources who don't have a required competency proficiency or years of experience fail the Competency Proficiency or Competency Experience factor.

Resources with a failing score are not recommended for that assignment by Resource Matching.

Note:

If during implementation you select 0 - Not at all important as the relative importance of the Accomplishment factor in the Resource Matching calculation of the Qualification factor family fit score, a resource can fail the Accomplishment factor and still be recommended for a resource request. This logic applies also to the Competency Proficiency or Competency Experience factors if during implementation you select 0 - Not at all important as the relative importance of these factors in the calculation of the Qualification factor family fit score.
