2. Undertake project planning | 2.1 Plan information gathering activities to determine project requirements, constraints and risks 2.2 Identify project partitioning on the basis of intended system development life cycle and risk 2.3 Prepare project work breakdown, schedule and budget 2.4 Compile project management plan documents as necessary to communicate the intended management strategy for the project and obtain sign-off |
3. Establish the IT project team | 3.1 Identify and select team members, and allocate roles and responsibilities, based on project solution requirements 3.2 Determine training and support needs of team members 3.3 Establish project team values and agreed behavioural standards with team members |

Evidence of the ability to:
scope the activities of a complex information and communications technology (ICT) project
prepare a project plan
determine the project team and duties
execute a project
close the project, ensuring it has met requirements.
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:
describe the characteristics of leaders and technical teams
outline the consultation and communication techniques and strategies
describe the process of establishing technical teams and determine stages of team development
explain estimation and cost-analysis techniques
describe the methods of communication and communication styles, including interviewing techniques
identify the objectives and perform benefits analysis
outline the organisational values, policies and processes that apply to the project
conduct performance management and project team appraisal methods
explain the processes for monitoring team and own performance
outline the project cash flow and budgeting processes
identify the range of project-management methods and tools
conduct systems analysis and modelling techniques
explain team roles and delegation within a multi-project methodology context
identify and analyse technology solution models and frameworks.
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 ICT project management field of work, and include access to office equipment, materials and industry software packages.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
