Upcoming changes to the framework
About this list
This is a list of projects to develop changes to the framework's content.
Major changes, such as new roles or adding levels to roles, have been approved by a vote of the Capability Framework Design Council.
All projects in progress have a lead contact. Some projects have their own page including more information on the scope, organisations involved and a timeline.
