How it works

1
Self-assess
Rate your current ability across 40 capabilities using behavioral anchors on a 1–5 scale. Be honest — this isn't graded.
2
Get your profile
Scores are computed across 8 dimensions with maturity bands from Limited through to Leading.
3
Identify growth areas
Select up to 3 areas you want to develop in the next 6 months. This shapes the team's learning roadmap.

Behavioral anchors

Each question is rated against concrete descriptions of capability, not subjective confidence. Choose the level that best matches your current, honest ability.

  • 1
    No hands-on exposure
  • 2
    Limited exposure, would need guidance
  • 3
    Have done this on a real project with some guidance
  • 4
    Can do this independently in real work
  • 5
    Deep skill; can design tradeoffs and guide others
  • N/A
    Not in my current role
