Experience Tracking

Experience Tracking in Bridgit automatically computes the experience team members gain from working on projects, based on configurable factors like build type, owner, architect, and market sector. Experience data helps you evaluate team composition, identify expertise gaps, and make informed staffing decisions.

Key Capabilities:

• Automatically calculate experience from awarded project assignments and precon task assignments

• Configure which project fields are used to measure experience

• Import historical experience from projects outside of Bridgit or previous employers

• View individual experience summaries on people profiles

• Review collective team experience on a project's Team tab

Eligibility/Prerequisites

Required Configuration: Experience tracking must be enabled in your account. Once enabled, an administrator will need to configure fields to be used for experience tracking in Profile Menu > Settings > People > Experience Tracking

Permissions: Experience data respects role-based permissions. Users only see experience for team members they have permission to view.

How to Use

Configuring Experience Tracking

Before experience can be computed for team members, an admin needs to configure the fields that experience could be tracked for:

1. Go to Profile Menu > Settings > People > Experience Tracking

2. Select and Save the project fields that you want to track experience for. Supported field types include text, single select, and multi select.

Importing Experience

To ensure data completeness in Bridgit, you can import experience that team members gained from projects planned outside of Bridgit or from previous employers.

You can do this in two places:

• Profile Menu > Settings > People > Experience Tracking (Bulk Import)

• People Profile > Experience tab, click "Add Experience" (top right)

Only administrators can add experience.

Viewing Experience Summaries on Profiles

1. Navigate to a team member's profile

2. Click the Experience tab

3. Select the Summary or List option to view experience data.

Summary view displays bar graphs showing a team member's experience across tracked fields. List view breaks experience down project by project, so you can see exactly where experience was gained.

Viewing Team Experience on a Project

The relevant experience of a project team is summarized on the Team tab on a Project.

1. Navigate to a project

2. Click the Team tab

Common Workflows

Evaluating a candidate for a role: Before placing someone on a project, review their Experience tab to confirm they have relevant background in the required market sector, build type, or other tracked fields.

Building a balanced team: Use the project's Team tab to see the collective experience of assigned resources. Look for a mix of team members with deep experience and those looking to develop in a given area.

Capturing historical data for new hires: When onboarding someone with prior industry experience, use the bulk import or individual profile import to add their background before they appear in staffing decisions.

Identifying expertise gaps: Review experience summaries across your workforce to find areas where your team may need additional development or external hiring.
