Agile Software Development

I'm in the process of reorganizing and streamlining job descriptions in our company, and now the HR manager wants me to define the differences between a junior software developer, a medior software developer and a senior software developer. Ehm... ok, that's a tough one. My first thought was that juniors need coaching, senior don't, and mediors end up somewhere in the middle. I would be perfectly happy with such a fuzzy-logic definition, but I'm afraid both our HR manager and our employees want more tangible function profiles.

Oh boy...
