Programmer Competency Matrix

Author: Michael Ceranski | Posted: 8. April 2009 3

I found an interesting link today while I was surfing the social bookmarking site http://del.icio.us. Basically I found a blog where a developer created a "Programmer Competency Matrix". It basically breaks programming knowledge down into basic groups and levels. Here is an example: 

This matrix could serve as an interesting way to rank programmers in an organization or to even figure out compensation rates for your staff. Anyway, to see the full matrix visit the IndianGeek website.

Hi,

I have "ported" the programmer competency matrix to Excel and added some self-evaluation functionalities.

Please find the Excel version of the Programmer Competency Matrix here:

I don't really know if there is a way to come up with a numerical score at the end. You would probably have to come up with something on your own for that. Perhaps you could post the question to the person who created the matrix. The link is at the end of the blog post.
