Standardized Job Descriptions

Question

Here's a question that I'm sure almost every one of you have come across in your careers unless you are still working for the first company you ever worked for.

In IT, most job descriptions seem to be made up. A Senior Systems Analyst at company A seems to do something very different from that same Senior Systems Analyst at company B.

Is there a Standards organisation (like CMMI or ISO or something) that maintains a list of Job Descriptions?

I've been asked to define my role. I was employed as a "Technical Architect" a couple of months ago, and asked to let the CTO know what I think a Technical Architect Role should consist of.

Surely somewhere on earth there must be a recognised Standards based list of Job Titles...

Anyone know of a good one?

Sounds a lot like this question.

Answer 2

This is too unregulated a profession for that. And I like it as it is.
