TS 13225

TS 13225 is a vocational standard for the informatics projects development specialist. It addresses the definition and classification of the occupation, together with the characteristics expected from the professional and the way those characteristics are measured and evaluated. In general technical terms, informatics project development is about turning business needs into a structured technical effort, comparing solution options, organizing implementation steps, and keeping the work aligned with project objectives.

What this occupation involves

The focus of the standard is the professional profile of the specialist who develops informatics projects. Project development in this field typically brings together analysis, design, implementation, coordination, and follow-up. It is not limited to coding alone; it also includes defining the project goal and shaping the solution so it fits the working environment. In broader technical context, such roles require balancing systems, processes, user needs, and technical constraints.

Measurement and evaluation of competence

The standard also covers how the occupation’s required characteristics are to be measured and evaluated. This indicates that competence is considered through more than theoretical knowledge alone, extending to practical skill, work discipline, and the ability to carry out tasks in the proper sequence. The scope also mentions the equipment, tools, and hardware needed for the job; since the detailed text is not reproduced here, these should be understood as the general working resources that support project-based informatics work.
