What is SFIA? Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA) is a model for describing and managing competencies for ICT professionals globally. SFIA is used to help match the skills of the workforce to the needs of the business and IT.  SFIA is the world’s most widely adopted digital skills and competency framework.

SFIA is an easy to use common reference model. SFIA is a practical resource for people who manage or work in or around information and communication technologies, digital transformations and software engineering.

• It provides a framework consisting of professional skills on one axis and seven levels of responsibility on the other.
• It describes the professional skills at various levels of competence.
• It describes the levels of responsibility, in terms of generic attributes of Autonomy, Influence, Complexity, Knowledge and Business Skills.
