What's a competency gap chart?
A competency gap chart is a graphical representation of how well your competency ratings match the required proficiency ratings of a job or position profile.
The job or position profiles to which you can compare your profile include your assignments and the profiles in your interest list. The application generates competency gap chart using only those competencies that appear in both your profile and the selected job or position profile. Select to view the competency gap chart on the Skills and Qualifications page. You can also view the competency gap chart for each explored role or roles added as careers of interest in the Career Development work area.
Use the competency gap chart in your career development to determine whether you're already qualified for the selected job or position, or if areas exist where you need further development. If you identify gaps, you or your manager can also add a goal for the competency for which you have lesser ratings in the Career Development work area. For example, if your rating for the Leadership competency is 3 and the targeted rating for that competency in the Product Manager job is 4, you might research training classes or ask for projects that would help you improve your leadership capabilities. In the Career Development work area, you can also add a goal to the Leadership competency to help you improve your leadership capabilities.
If the job or position profile contains fewer than three competencies, then the competency gap chart is displayed as a bar chart. Otherwise, the chart is displayed as a radar chart. The compatible percentage for a role is automatically calculated using the best-fit analysis tool.
