In the BMC Helix Portfolio Management application, Competency Management refers to the management of a comprehensive set of information on the resources' skillfulness and accomplishments. Competencies is the umbrella term encompassing Skills, Courses and Certificates. These elements collectively form the core data structure that supports various functionalities within the resource management operations. The application allows you to manage these competencies based on individual resources, resource groups, job profiles and more.

Competencies Configuration

Users can import the pre-existing data (competencies) of their organizations within the Helix Portfolio Management application via one-time Excel import during installation. This can be particularly beneficial for organizations dealing with large sets of data and undergoing initial setup. 

Additionally, the application administrators can configure new Skills, Courses and Certificates under the Resource Management Settings. For more information, see Configuring Competencies. 

The imported or configured data auto-populates to the Foundation Data Console and can be managed by the Resource Managers and Resource Masters. For more information, see Managing Foundation Data.
