Senior production personnel, such as production or event managers and coordinators, apply the skills and knowledge described in this unit. Depending on the size of the production, this person may also be responsible for developing the resource schedule on which the production schedule is based.
More complex skills associated with managing pre-production activities are covered in:
CUFPPM601A Plan and manage film and media pre-production.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to compile schedules for productions or events in the screen, media and entertainment industries.
The task of compiling production schedules is a significant aspect of pre-production planning in the screen, media and entertainment industry sectors.
Even though people in this role operate with a high degree of autonomy, they are members of a production team and need to work collaboratively with colleagues.
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)

Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Evidence of the following is essential: effective use of scheduling tools and techniques to create accurate and practical production schedules that take account of relevant issues effective communication, negotiation and problem solving skills collaborative approach to work. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Assessment must ensure: development of more than one production schedule for an actual production, to ensure that skills can be adapted to different circumstances development of production schedules within commercially-realistic time constraints involvement of and interaction with others to reflect the collaborative nature of the scheduling process access to appropriate learning and assessment support when required use of culturally appropriate processes and techniques appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of learners and the work being performed. |
Method of assessment | A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit: direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third-party workplace reports of on-the-job performance evaluation of production schedules compiled by the candidate, including discussion with candidate about the process followed to produce schedules written or oral questioning to test knowledge as listed in the required skills and knowledge section of this unit. |
Guidance information for assessment | Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example: BSBCRT402A Collaborate in a creative process CUETEM01C Coordinate production operations CUETEM03C Establish and manage production requirements and resources CUFPPM403A Coordinate film and media production services and resources. |
