#44 Blockchain, Distributed Ledger Technology, Smart Contracts, Crypto change request pending
Blockchain, DLT, SmartContracts, Crypto are topics I believe SFIA need to incorporate into the scheme without delays.
This was raised by Kraken Yu on the SFIA User Forum LinkedIn group
Current status of this request: pending
What we decided
This was reviewed as part of SFIA 8 see SFIA and Blockchain — English (sfia-online.org).
- Our working assumption is that "Blockchain" is a not an additional set of SFIA skills
- It is best treated as the application of a new technology
- Using the SFIA capability model - see graphic - we can identify many SFIA skills which can be applied
- People with these skills will need some new knowledge in Blockchain technologies
- Some knowledge will be technical - e.g related to security, programming, APIs, data management
- Other knowledge required will be commercial, business and industry focussed
