Experience-based task assignment

Delegate task according to experience: execution frequency, case involvement, interactions

Assign a task to a person based on their experience, measured by the number of times they have executed a work item, been involved in a case, and interacted with others

Description

Example

An organisation assigns a senior manager role in data and analytics to a person with at least 10 project involvements, five project leadership experiences, and team management experience of at least 20 people.

Implementation

Experience metrics for people must be available. At the time of execution, the experience required for the task will be matched with existing data and to select an appropriate person.

Performance considerations

This pattern will result in high-quality outcomes in less time.
