Builders

Builders overview

Builders is where teams create career frameworks that explain expectations clearly across roles and levels.

Frameworks and job families

A framework describes expectations for a role group. In SkillsMap, a framework is built around a job family, such as Software Engineering or Product Management.

The job family includes details like department, description, and job levels.

Categories and competencies

Categories group related competencies. For example, a framework might include categories such as Delivery, Technical Design, Collaboration, or Leadership.

Competencies describe capabilities within those categories.

Expectations and proficiency

Expectations explain what a competency looks like at each job level.

Proficiency levels are reusable stages used by the library to describe how a competency grows over time.

Drafts, published versions, and shared views

Editing changes the draft. Publishing creates the official published snapshot.

Sharing creates a public link to the published snapshot. Publishing and sharing are separate actions.
