        abstract = {Knowledge and skill management within agile software development teams presents unique challenges due to their dynamic nature and evolving requirements. This paper introduces a structured yet lightweight framework for measuring, tracking, and developing skills within Scrum teams. The framework employs a competency matrix approach with a four-level rating system (None, Basic, Advance, Expert) implemented through collaborative assessment sessions. Data from three teams demonstrates how this approach enables transparent skill visualization, targeted development planning, and effective cross-team knowledge transfer. The framework's evolution into a web-based organizational platform further enhances its capability to identify experts, facilitate knowledge sharing, and provide management with actionable insights for workforce planning. Results indicate significant improvements in onboarding efficiency, skill development, and the establishment of a continuous learning culture within the organization. This paper presents comprehensive implementation details, challenges encountered, mitigation strategies, and quantifiable outcomes that validate the framework's effectiveness across multiple assessment cycles.},
