Abstract: BEKO-SMS is a knowledge-based skill management system that combines project planning and human resource management. Application and system functions model specific skills and relationships used in a particular project. The definition of skills, skill trees, skill updating and other processes form the basis for the success factors of the SMS. We conclude that efficient project resource planning would not be possible without SMS and the skill manager.

Keywords: human resource planning, project planning, skill database, skill management, skill updating, skills
