  CLASS CHARACTERISTICS
  Analyst II: This is the journey-level classification in the Analyst series. Incumbents at this level perform the more difficult assignments, projects, analyses, and studies assigned to positions within the series, requiring the use of considerable discretion and independent judgment in performing assigned work and full and thorough knowledge of the concepts, practices, procedures, and policies of assigned program(s). Assignments are given with general guidelines, and positions are responsible for establishing objectives, timelines, and methods to deliver work products or services. Work is typically reviewed upon completion for soundness, appropriateness, and conformity to policy and requirements.
  Analyst III: This is the senior level in the Analyst class series. Incumbents independently manage assigned projects, studies, or programs; research, analyze, and develop solutions to a wide range of issues; participate in agency-wide planning discussions related to assigned area of responsibility; demonstrate independent judgment in selecting methods and techniques for obtaining solutions; and/or serve as a professional-level resource for analyses and studies which are complex in nature and diverse in scope. The work involves a high-level of problem-solving requiring analysis of unique issues or increasingly complex problems without precedent and/or structure, managing multiple stakeholder interests, and formulating, presenting, and implementing strategies and recommendations for resolution. Work assignments are typically given as broad, conceptual ideas and directives, and incumbents are accountable for overall results and responsible for developing guidelines, action plans, and methods to produce deliverables on time and within budget. This class is distinguished from the Program Manager classification in that the latter are responsible for planning, developing, implementing, and managing assigned programs, serving as agency and/or regional technical experts, and managing assigned staff.
