Abstract
IT projects are characterized by high complexity, implementation of the latest technological solutions and specialized competence of contractors and high costs. The key element in IT project management is to have employees with appropriate substantive competencies (programmers, designers, analysts, etc.). Before starting an IT project, the IT project manager must answer the following questions: Do I have the right set of team competences to start the project? If the team lacks competence, then in what area and to what extent? The article proposes a model of employee competence configuration and a procedure for their verification in the context of IT project management. Also presented is the method of model implementation and numerous computational examples verifying its usefulness and effectiveness of implementation.
