This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to assist in the development of a detailed technical design.

It applies to individuals performing systems design tasks who are required to review and update technical design documents.

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

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

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.

ELEMENT	PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
Elements describe the essential outcomes.	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
1. Assist in selecting technical design features	1.1 Select and revise design model based on iteration and design changes 1.2 Incorporate outstanding design points according to acceptance criteria 1.3 Distribute reports identifying changes and implications to appropriate person for review
2. Contribute to design review	2.1 Compare design against requirements and fix as necessary 2.2 Confirm design with appropriate person 2.3 Use feedback mechanisms to gather information on design changes from client 2.4 Incorporate design changes where required
3. Contribute to development of program specifications	3.1 Implement modules by incremental development techniques 3.2 Identify user authority for each module 3.3 Prepare detailed specifications of module implementation for each module that will not be incrementally built 3.4 Prepare documentation according to requirements of the project

Evidence of the ability to:

define the client business domain and client's critical business functions and processes

design and prepare a clear and best-fit technical design for a set project, incorporating:

changes to design model based on user requirements

detailed specification of modules

produce updated documentation to reflect changes.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

explain various life cycle options

describe design fundamentals and refinement

discuss design quality metrics.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the general information and communications technology (ICT) industry, and include access to:

requirements model

business requirements

project deliverables

acceptance criteria

current ICT blueprint.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(add new lines for each of the 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.

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.
