The scope of the Programming/Analysis family includes development and production support responsibilities. Development work is typically creating new programs/applications to support a business need. The process is typically project-based and involves all aspects of the project life cycle from inception to implementation. This work may be conducted internally or through a vendor-supported program/application, and work may include ongoing maintenance of the program/application. Production support work is focused on maintaining and/or supporting existing programs/systems. Work is typically centered on enhancements to the existing application/system and responding to user/client problems and issues with the application/system.
Essential Functions:
- For development, majority of time is spent coding using independently-chosen methods to meet client/user specifications, conducting non-routine maintenance activities and guiding lower-level teammates.
- For production support, majority of time is divided between maintenance (responding to most client/user requests and issues), development (independent coding, installing upgrades), testing activities and guiding lower-level teammates.
- Troubleshoots technical problems and conducts analyses for efficient program/application solutions which support client business processes and functional requirements.
- May provide input to estimate requirements for project plans.
