INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY FOR THE INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT OF EXPERT COMPETENCY by Olena Lobach, Igor Babych, Elena Persiyanova

“…The following results were obtained: the problem of assessing the quality of experts was considered; based on the authors’ practical experience and analysis of literature sources, the structural diagram of the properties of experts and their assessment was developed; five main groups of existing methods for assessing the quality of experts were analyzed; existing models of an integrated assessment of the competency of experts were reviewed; a two-stage method for the integrated assessment of the competency of experts was developed by integrating the methods of heuristic, test, and statistical assessment; the main groups of users and functional requirements to the information system for assessing the competency of experts were identified; the database and user interface of the information system were developed; the developed information technology of the integrated assessment of the competency of experts was tested on actual data for selecting an expert group to choose the methodology of project management. …”
