Manage design realisation

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


People working in many industries apply the skills and knowledge outlined in this unit, which has been written to allow for contextualisation. The unit may apply to an individual designer-maker or to a designer working as part of a design/production team. In practice, this unit would always be combined with specialised design units that focus on a particular area of design practice.

This unit underpins effective performance in all design disciplines. It is highly recommended that this unit be assessed with or after the following units:

BSBDES402A Interpret and respond to a brief

any specialised design unit, e.g. CUFCOS504A Design costumes

CUEFIN02C Manage a budget.

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to manage design realisation and includes a focus on planning, implementation and monitoring of the design process.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Employability Skills

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:

management of the design realisation process so that finished product meets requirements of the brief

effective communication skills in relation to working with others for realisation of the design

sound knowledge of the design process within the specific industry context/design discipline.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for:

practical demonstration of skills through the planning and implementation of the design process with access to all required tools, equipment and materials

interaction with and involvement of others to reflect the collaborative nature of the unit and the communication and negotiation skills required.

Method of assessment

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:

evaluation of progress reports completion reports prepared by the candidate

review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment of this unit requires access to:

resources, tools, materials and equipment for realisation of a design in specific context

information on design for which the candidate manages realisation.

Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

communication and negotiation skills for effective client/principal, stakeholder and project team liaison during design realisation

literacy skills sufficient to research and evaluate a wide range of source materials on design and to complete relevant design documentation

numeracy skills sufficient to manage budgets

Required knowledge

planning and scheduling skills in relation to a given context for design realisation

production processes as they apply to the realisation of designs within a particular industry context/design discipline, including materials, tools, equipment and processes

quality assurance for design processes applicable to the specific industry context/design discipline

problem solving and decision making particularly in relation to design realisation

copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues and legislation that impact on design work in the relevant industry context at a managerial level

occupational health and safety requirements relevant to the particular work context/design discipline

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
