Level 1

At level 1 you’re just starting out as a developer, or are entering as a graduate.

Participates Within a Team

You perform some work within a team but are not yet fully integrated

Limited Ownership of Learning

You mostly defer to more senior teammates for learning opportunities and take a more passive role in identifying viable topics / areas for growth

Close Supervision

You generally require close supervision and are not expected to take on too much work without guidance from someone more senior

Communicates Well Within Squad

You'll have developed good lines of communication within your immediate squad, but defer most other external enquiries to your squadmates. Where you do look to communicate outside of your squad you'll likely seek approval from more senior squadmates first, or pull them into conversations in order to manage your contributions.

You may need to focus on building relationships outside of your squad and involving yourself more within the workings of your wider team. As your experience and confidence grows you'll find yourself being more able communicate authoritatively for squad.
