Introduction to the framework

Career ladder is a progression framework within InfraCloud. It highlights different levels within InfraCloud and the key competencies required at each of the levels. The document aims to provide a framework for Infranaut’s growth and developmental roadmap.

Key objectives

• Describe competencies across different levels in the organization.
• Codify and present how roles and responsibilities progress across levels.
• Guide to your professional development plans.

Structure

Each level has been broken down across two broad buckets, Professional Competencies and Behavioral Competencies.

Professional Competencies

Professional Competencies focus on fundamental aspects of the work and technical competency expected at the level of role you are performing.

These are further divided into Core Competencies and Functional Competencies (subdivided into Management, Organization Building, Delighting People, and Social Capital).

Core Competencies

The core focuses on the fundamental aspects of the work and technical competency expected at the level of role one is performing at.

Functional Competencies

• Management
  Every role involves some amount of management - from your own tasks, and team’s responsibilities to managing customers. This section outlines responsibilities at the level of the role one is performing at.
• Organization Building
  Everything you do helps build an organization in various ways. Some ways are more explicit and some are implicit. This section outlines how this changes as you progress through your career at InfraCloud.
• Delighting People
  A large part of our work involves working with people very closely and collaborating. This section outlines responsibilities at the level of the role one is performing at.
• Social Capital
  Whatever you do has an impact within the organization of the course, but for a long-term view, we need to build social capital outside org too. This could be by dedicating our energies to the community or being a person who helps others by sharing their knowledge outside. This part will talk about responsibilities at the level of the role one is performing at.

Behavioral Competencies

Behavioral Competencies comprise a list of Enabling Traits and they act as a building block to progress on Professional Competencies.

• Enabling Traits
  This is a section which will list traits that makes one successful in the role they are in.

Broad Indicators

This section gives a rough split of responsibilities and any other data point based on anecdote/experience.
