Iam interested in knowing if "standard labor categories" play any role while contracting out of IT services. In other words, how do skill descriptions of employees influence IT contracts whether they be fixed firm price contracts or time and labour or performance based contracts. Is standardization of labor categories considered a best practice for sourcing IT services or negotiating contracts? Has standardised defination of labor categories/ skill sets by organisation such as SFIA in UK and NWCET in the US, been adopted by IT services buyers and providers in procurement process? Warm regards and thanks, Gagan Hi..
