Procurement skills view
The Australian public sector procurement community has created a "Procurement View" of SFIA skills. This aligns the skills to a procurement lifecycle. You can find a pdf here
We are interested to hear from others on this and also how we could develop this further e.g. by
- refining the skills view
- sharing illustrative procurement roles and a mapping of SFIA skills and SFIA levels to these roles.
- developing mappings to relevant industry frameworks (e.g. process frameworks, professional certifications)
