1 Share of the ICT project manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ICT documentation manager profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A ICT project manager role treats 5 of its required skills as things a ICT documentation manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • ICT project management
  • define technology strategy
  • identify legal requirements
  • manage budgets
  • perform resource planning

What stands in the way is 21 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 17 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A ICT project manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ICT documentation manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held develop information standards management skills
  • already held crowdsourcing strategy business, administration and law
  • already held document management social sciences, journalism and information
  • already held insourcing strategy business, administration and law
  • already held manage localisation communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held outsourcing strategy business, administration and law

All 17 carried skills, including the 5 the ICT project manager role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 54 missing skills fall into 6 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
