Technology skills refer to the talents and abilities related to information technology and physical technology, such as machines. This includes general skills such as data analysis, as well as knowledge of specific technologies, such as a particular software product or service. Technology skills can be divided into several levels, including design, management, development, and use. For example, many people may be familiar with using various hardware and software tools, but may not have experience in designing, developing, configuring, administering, or managing such tools.

Technology skills have different levels or viewpoints as follows.
Architecture
Managing the structure of technology at the highest level. For example, planning how dozens of complex systems will interact to deliver a business process.
Design
The detailed design of technology such as a designer of hardware, software, vehicles, machines, instruments or large scale infrastructure.
Development
The implementation of technology to realize a design. For example, coding a system.
DevOps
The use of coding to manage and operate complex environments that may include platforms, systems, scripts, services, applications, physical machines and facilities.
Administration
The implementation, configuration and management of individual systems or applications. Modern administrators typically need to known how to code.
Advanced Users
Users that engage in coding to customize things to their requirements. This is very different from coding to realize a design for a complex system or application.
End Users
End users who use technology to be productive but don’t customize it to any significant extent.
