How Development Program Management works in SkillScorer
Score
Each staff member in a program is scored on the Development Program Management skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank staff members, compare two side by side, or compare your programs against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Development Program Management skills need attention. Reports also follow each team leader's program.
