Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for creating a discipline map for a user and using the discipline map to assess the knowledge and experience of the user in a designer/developer context for a project. The discipline map may represent one or more attributes and an ability level the user possesses for one or more attributes. An attribute can be a set of skills associated with designer tasks and/or developer tasks of a project. A skill can be obtained through training and experience and a skill can predict whether the user can successfully complete the task. The ability levels may represent depth of a user's knowledge and experience. Discipline maps according to certain embodiments can be used to assess educational needs of one or more users, to allow a user to conduct a personal assessment of his or her strengths and weaknesses, and to plan a project such as a software project.

Abstract: A system and method that enables a designer to build electronic forms and corresponding hierarchical schemas are described. Displays of hierarchical schemas, electronic forms, and components used to build the hierarchical schemas and electronic forms are provided to the designer. The designer selects components and arranges them on a display to visually build an electronic form. As the form is built, the corresponding hierarchical schema is incrementally updated to reflect changes made to the electronic form.
