In late December 2011 I performed a survey to learn how people see their skills in the SAP PI space. There were 40 respondents on the survey, which gave a good indication of some trends. But I don't think it has statistical significance, it is way too long time I have had statistics to remember how to calculate it. Watch the video to get a commentary on the results.
I wanted to learn what people found most important, and also where they saw they needed to improve in 2012. I did have some areas that I expected to be interesting. I got the following responses.
Topic | Now | Want to learn |
Adapter usage | 27 | 7 |
B2B setup | 11 | 12 |
BPM and BPMN | 19 | 18 |
Business understanding | 19 | 11 |
Development methodology | 17 | 8 |
Edifact/X12 mapping | 10 | 13 |
IDOC | 25 | 6 |
Java mappings | 17 | 16 |
Mappings | 31 | 6 |
Module development | 9 | 16 |
Naming Convention | 16 | 4 |
Project participation | 17 | 7 |
Proxy / Enterprise SOA | 22 | 12 |
XSL mappings | 11 | 10 |
Grand Total | 251 | 149 |
I have highlighted those areas that I find most interesting and people voted for. I have a video showing my comments to the survey.
