Software engineering competencies

SFIA provides a common language throughout the people and skills management cycle.  This improves communication and understanding for all involved e.g. business and technology leaders, front-line managers, employees, HR, learning and development, students and academic institutions.

Software engineering skills and competencies at a glance

The skills at a glance page provides a one-page summary of the SFIA software engineering related skills and competency levels.

How to use the software engineering competencies view

As with all applications of SFIA; you should consider the software engineering competencies view against your specific organisational context and business objectives.

• The intention is not to draw a hard boundary around these skills or to imply that other SFIA skills are not appropriate.
• When you are familiar with this view - it is likely that you will refer to the full SFIA framework for additional and complementary skill definitions.
