Jesse – Brian and I “owe” you a rough draft of a job description for a Sub-PO Knowledge Base Board Member (1^st & 2^nd year).  Following is a 1^st draft on some of the ideas that Brian and I were bouncing around re: relevant competencies and qualifications:

1.        Active PMI and Agile Community Membership (re: credibility and understanding the culture of both communities)

2.       Deep working knowledge of both PMBOK and Agile with competencies of each at the Knowledgeable Practitioner level using the Dreyfus Scale below*

3.       Demonstrated ability to apply systems and strategic thinking to develop and evolve a Virtual Community

4.       Practical experience of web based tools and technology

5.       Practical understanding of how to lead change and be a change agent

6.       Courage and strength of conviction to drive and lead change across cultures

7.       Demonstrated innovative and strategic visioning to extend the future of our virtual community

Jesse, Brian and I thought that we should call out these competencies for all of the board positions along with strong collaborative, critical thinking, negotiation, and facilitation skills specific to the Knowledge Base, leadership, administration and oversight

Have a great weekend!
