Identify Needed Knowledge and Skills

The functional knowledge and related job skills within the integrated team are directly related to specific team tasks and responsibilities. A fully effective integrated team is able to perform its tasks and is composed of the necessary technical and business specialties and expertise. An integrated team advocates appropriate coverage for all phases of the work product life cycle. A profile of essential skill mixes that are required at all team functions describes the core team, which can be supplemented with additional skill sets as needed for the extended team.

• Identify the core competencies on which to base the integrated team’s activities to sustain or achieve desired capability.
• Establish knowledge and skill profiles underlying each core and extended team competency.
• Define staffing and competency requirements
