SFIA (Skills Framework for Information Ages)Ce référentiel est développé en Grande-Bretagne. Il se distingue du référentiel du Cigref car il décrituniquement <strong>des</strong> compétences, sans proposer de regroupement de ces compétences au sein demétiers ou d’emplois.Sa structuration est intéressante :• un axe générique de 7 niveaux de compétences avec <strong>des</strong> évolutions sur les aspects « autonomy »,« influence », « complexity », « business skills » ;• 90 compétences liées à la fonction <strong>SI</strong> décrite, avec une <strong>des</strong>cription générique, et <strong>des</strong> précisionscorrespondant aux 7 niveaux génériques.SFIA 4G: Framework reference Framework summarySFIA 4G: Framework reference Framework summarySFIA 4G: Framework reference Solution development and implementation: Installation and integrationFramework summaryCategory Subcategory Skill Code 1 2 3 4 5 6 7Strategy and Information strategy Corporate governance of <strong>IT</strong> GOVN 6 7architectureInformation management IRMG 4 5 6 7Information systems co-ordination ISCO 6 7Information policy formation DPRO 5 6Information security SCTY 3 4 5 6Information assurance INAS 5 6 7Information analysis INAN 4 5 6Information content publishing ICPM 2 3 4 5 6Advice and guidance Consultancy CNSL 5 6 7Technical specialism TECH 5 6 7Business/<strong>IT</strong> strategy and planning Research RSCH 3 4 5 6Innovation INOV 6Business process improvement BPRE 5 6 7Enterprise architecture STPL 5 6 7Business risk management BURM 5 6Sustainability strategy SUST 5 6Technical strategy and planning Solution architecture ARCH 5 6Emerging technology monitoring EMRG 5 6Continuity management COPL 4 5Software development process improvement SPIM 5 6 7Sustainability management for <strong>IT</strong> SUMI 5 6Network planning NTPL 5 6Methods and tools METL 4 5 6Business change Business change implementation Portfolio management POMG 5 6 7Programme management PGMG 6 7Project management PRMG 4 5 6 7Business change management Business analysis BUAN 3 4 5 6Business process testing BPTS 4 5 6Change implementation planning andCIPM 5 6managementOrganisation <strong>des</strong>ign and implementation ORDI 5 6Benefits management BENM 5 6Business modelling BSMO 2 3 4 5 6Sustainability assessment SUAS 4 5 6Relationship management Stakeholder relationship management RLMT 5 6SolutionSystems development Systems development management DLMG 5 6 7development andData analysis DTAN 2 3 4 5implementationRequirements definition and management REQM 2 3 4 5 6Systems <strong>des</strong>ign DESN 2 3 4 5 6Network <strong>des</strong>ign NTDS 5 6Database/repository <strong>des</strong>ign DBDS 2 3 4 5 6Programming/software development PROG 2 3 4 5Safety engineering SFEN 3 4 5 6Sustainability engineering SUEN 4 5 6Information content authoring INCA 2 3 4 5 6Testing TEST 2 3 4 5 6Human factors Systems ergonomics HCEV 3 4 5 6Usability requirements analysis UNAN 3 4 5Usability evaluation USEV 2 3 4 5Human factors integration HFIN 5 6 7Installation and integration Systems integration <strong>SI</strong>NT 2 3 4 5 6Porting/software integration PORT 3 4 5 6Systems installation/decommissioning H<strong>SI</strong>N 1 2 3 4 5Category Subcategory Skill Code 1 2 3 4 5 6 7ServiceService strategy <strong>IT</strong> management <strong>IT</strong>MG 5 6 7managementFinancial management for <strong>IT</strong> FM<strong>IT</strong> 4 5 6Service <strong>des</strong>ign Capacity management CPMG 4 5 6Availability management AVMT 4 5 6Service level management SLMO 2 3 4 5 6 7Service transition Configuration management CFMG 2 3 4 5 6Change management CHMG 3 4 5 6Release management RELM 3 4 5 6Service operation System software SYSP 3 4 5Security administration SCAD 3 4 5 6Radio frequency engineering RFEN 2 3 4 5 6Applications support ASUP 2 3 4 5<strong>IT</strong> operations <strong>IT</strong>OP 1 2 3 4Network control and operation NTOP 3 4 5 6Database administration DBAD 2 3 4 5Network support NTAS 2 3 4 5Problem management PBMG 4 5Service <strong>des</strong>k and incident management USUP 1 2 3 4 5Procurement Supply management Procurement PROC 5 6and managementSupplier relationship management SURE 3 4 5 6 7supportQuality management Quality management QUMG 5 6 7Quality assurance QUAS 3 4 5 6Quality standards QUST 2 3 4 5Compliance review CORE 3 4 5 6Safety assessment SFAS 5 6Technology audit TAUD 4 5 6 7Resource management Programme and project support office PROF 2 3 4 5Asset management ASMG 4 5 6Client services management CSMG 5 6Professional development PDSV 5 6Resourcing RESC 5 6Learning and development Learning and development management ETMG 5 6Learning resources creation and maintenance TMCR 4 5Education and training delivery ETDL 3 4 5Client interface Sales and marketing Marketing MKTG 3 4 5 6Selling SALE 4 5 6Client support Account management ACMG 5 6Sales support SSUP 1 2 3 4 5 6Installation and integration Level 6 Ensures the availability of hardware, diagnostic tools.
