Understanding Software Engineering Job Titles. Industry: This model is most. Considerably different title for same job/responsibility/position in hierarchy.

Originally posted by Srikanth Raghavan: I would like to know the hierarchical designations that is commonly implemented in the IT industry(both technical and functional) from a programmer or a tester to CEO. For eg:- Programmer -->Team Lead -->Project Manager -->??? Thank you, Srikanth It depends on organisation structure.mostly this is how they do it: You will have three main streams: 1. Delivery: Responsible for project delivery 2.

Sales: Sales and Marketing 3. Technology: Grow as a technical architect/funtional consultant Any of the three will lead you up till the middle managers role.From there starts the leadership team (note: there is a difference between leadership team and management team) like Unit head, country head, VP, COO, CEO. We start like this Trainee -->Programmer -->Team Lead.From her we need to decide.

The path can go like this based on the above three Team Lead-->project manager-->account manager/Group lead-->Leadership team Team Lead-->Pre-sales team(a part of Project management team)-->sales team-->Leadership team Team Lead-->Busniess analyst/Sr.BA-->funtional expert/Technical architect-->Leadership team Note: there is no hard and fast rule in any of the above. To be a part of leadership team, you need to expereince all the three streams. Mybase 4 85 Download Itunes.

2 Dear Kavita, Do you need only name of designation!!! Applied Physics Dale Ewen Pdf Printer. Inputs from otyhers are quite valid. If structure is finalised it shouldn't be problem. Some designation are: Software Engineer or Software Developer, Sr. Software Eng or Sr. Software developer, Software Architech Design Engineer Sr.

Design Engineer Engineer Softwaer Testing Sr. Soft Testing Team Lead Test Lead Assistant Proj Manager Proj Manager Application Developer Sr. Application Developer Application Engineer Sr. Application Engineer Product Engineer Sr.

Product Engineer Product Head Sofware Analyst/ Analyst Lead Analyst Sr. Analyst Tech Lead Service Head Directors and above Consultant / Sr. Consultant etc etc Above are only names what I know, they do not reflect any hierarchy or flow, written at random. Larger conpanies have levels and reporting structure.

If you want to do that, it would be seperate discussion. Regards, Rahul 10th March 2011 From India, Mumbai.
