Developing an It Specialist Competency Model Based on Intelligent Data Analysis

The key factors influencing the outcomes of IT projects are personnel and their professional development. Personnel assessment is a crucial tool for determining employees’ potential and possible career paths. In most cases, assessment is based on managers’ subjective opinions, which lack high reliability and completeness. Solving this problem is seen in using digital footprint analysis results. For the analysis, the author applies methods of static code analysis and natural language text analysis. This study constructs a developer’s competency matrix based on the results of factor analysis and structural modelling; identifies competencies related to development, problem-solving approach, and communication. The constructed competency matrix can be further used to evaluate the developer’s competence.
