Team capability & skill gaps
Coaching one person is about their development. Sometimes the question is bigger: does this team collectively have the skills for what’s coming? Before a project, a reorg, or a busy season, you want to see where the group is strong, where it’s thin, and who to develop or hire. You read that from the same skill records you build while coaching: each person’s standing against the bar their role sets, across everyone on the team.
Read across the team
Section titled “Read across the team”A role sets the required-skill bar for the job, and a team groups the people doing it. The Role Mastery report puts the whole team in one grid against that bar: each member’s overall mastery against the skills their role expects, side by side, so you see at a glance who is covered and who is thin. Because the role’s required skills are the same checklist for everyone in it, the comparison is apples to apples, and anyone sitting well below the bar is flagged for you.
Read each person’s standing
Section titled “Read each person’s standing”Behind that team view sits each person’s skill record: current level and mastery for every expected skill, built from coach (Data Points), self, and AI observations. Open a profile to see exactly where one person is covered and where they’re light, which is where you go once the report points you at someone to develop.
Find the gaps
Section titled “Find the gaps”Reading the team’s skill records against the role’s bar turns “are we ready?” into specific questions:
- Who is below the bar on a required skill? The people in the role not yet at mastery on a skill are the ones to coach first.
- Are they improving at a fast enough rate? Even with steady coaching, if someone’s velocity isn’t fast enough for them to reach proficiency in the role, the question shifts from how to coach them to whether this role or team is the right fit.
- What does the team lack collectively? A required skill almost nobody has mastered is a capability gap to close with hiring or focused coaching.
- Where is bench strength thin? A critical skill held by only one person is a risk worth spreading.
Pair capability with performance
Section titled “Pair capability with performance”Skill standing tells you what a team can do. To see what it’s actually delivering, build a dashboard over the performance data you’ve ingested: throughput, quality, cycle time, whatever the team is measured on. The skill picture and the results picture, read together, answer “is this team ready?” from both sides.
