Checklist for Required Skills

Summary: In order to help you prepare for your e-commerce project, you will need to look at a broad range of skills.

For each of these skills, first determine if you need to have that skill used in order to succeed in your project. After you determine if you need that skill, determine whether the skill is present in your organization, can be developed in your organization, or will need to be outsourced to an external party. This will allow you to plan for the human resources requirements to make your project succeed. It will probably be a good idea to find or hire someone who is experienced in electronic commerce similar to your own plans and use them as a consultant when filling out this list.
