What a position is in Progression and how to use them to define role expectations
Introduction
A position in Progression is a job or a role within in a team. Each position in a Progression framework has Skills and Skill levels associated with it. Positions sit within Tracks within each Team.
By defining the positions that make up your team as it is today or as you expect it to be in the future, you can give those who engage with your framework better visibility of what is expected of them now, and how they might progress in that team.
