To ensure that the project will continue to have the right mix and quantity of skills, Project Leaders' (PL)should establish formal procedures for the management of skills in the project. These procedures should cover all the project and management, and may include:

Skill Identification and Assessment : Regular identification and review of skills requirements and internal

skills availability through skills assessments and skills audits.

Develop Skill Matrix : The development of a skills matrix, where people are matched to the skills they possess, having been through the skills assessment process; the matrix can then be updated to reflect the results of each periodic skills audit
