Competency Analysis

Competency Analysis

Competency Analysis is a read-only analytics view that shows how much of each competency's available capacity is booked across a given period. It answers the question: Do we have enough people with skill X available during period Y?

Where to Find It

Competency Analysis is in the Reports section of the main navigation.


Reading the Grid

The grid shows competency categories as rows. Each cell covers one time period and displays two numbers in a diagonal split — booked hours (top-left) and available capacity (bottom-right). Cells are colour-coded by utilisation:
  • Grey — no bookings and no capacity (N/A)
  • No colour — completely open capacity (0% utilised)
  • Yellow — up to 60% utilised
  • Green — 61–100% utilised
  • Red — above 100% (overbooked)
Hover over any cell to see the exact booked hours, available capacity, and utilisation percentage.


Exploring Categories

Each category row has two ways to go deeper:
  • Chevron (right side of the row) — expands the row inline to show individual competencies within that category. You can expand multiple categories at once. The "View users" and "Filter people" actions are only available on these expanded rows.
  • Category name — drills the entire page into that category's subtree, replacing the top-level list with its sub-categories. A breadcrumb appears above the grid; click any segment to navigate back up. If a category has no sub-categories, the drill affordance is not shown.


Seeing the People Behind a Competency

On any individual competency row (reached by expanding a category chevron), you'll find two actions:
  • View users — opens a panel listing everyone who has this competency and their proficiency level. Names link to the person's detail screen.
  • Filter people — navigates to the People screen with this competency pre-applied as a filter, so you can check availability directly
