This tool was created by the IT group at NIWA in order to speed up the creation of position descriptions. Technical staff at NIWA often have a wide range of skills and responsibilities that are not easily characterised by a traditional job title like Systems Engineer or Software Developer. We found that staff were working across a wide range of IT skills including governance, strategy, design, development, implementation, operations etc. So how do we create a job description that captures the breadth of awesomeness that we are looking for?
The Skills Framework for the Information Age can be found at www.sfia-online.org. It provides a range of key terms across categories of IT including strategy, change, development etc. Many of the terms are compatible with ITIL - another widely used IT framework. For each term, there is a range of autonomy levels that represent growth in experience and capability for the role.
