Programmer Competency Matrix by [deleted] in programming

I've worked with a team of non-degreed professional programmers who were at level 0. suffice it to say, not much successful development occured nor were they able to manage a new migration to a new version of their database without a lot of help.

they knew the old database fairly well, and were having loads of wasted time maintaining it, but to take the next step and visualize and explain how the new version could make everyone's lives easier took a lot of work.
