Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge to develop a plan for a telecommunications project, including assessing project requirements and planning for all stages to completion and final documentation.

It applies to individuals who are likely to have responsibility for the provision of installations, maintenance, upgrades and new services.

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)



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.

Elements

Performance Criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Prepare project management plan

1.1 Evaluate and assess project brief and related documents

1.2 Produce document on project tasks and associated timelines, including installation processes and test requirements

1.3 Assess and produce document on resource requirements to assist allocation of appropriate resources

1.4 Produce training plan assessing training needs and associated timelines for efficient project implementation

1.5 Determine and document budgetary requirements

1.6 Discuss roles of all identified parties associated with project to ensure their involvement

1.7 Produce project verification document, including monitoring and control processes, and review processes such as quality audits

1.8 Consult with all relevant parties prior to finalising draft plan and make changes as appropriate

2. Develop and evaluate management plan

2.1 Produce preliminary plan for consultation, including identified factors that may impact on realisation of project and observance of relevant legislation, codes, regulation and standards

2.2 Consult with client and clarify any amendments

2.3 Develop final plan with recommendations

3. Finalise documentation

3.1 Produce and document final plan to include implementation details and training needs

3.2 Present plan to client and obtain sign off

Evidence of the ability to:

determine the project attributes and specifications

prepare a coherent draft project management plan

consult on and revise a project management plan

document final project management plan and obtain sign off.

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 the key attributes of common telecommunications applications and related equipment

identify and evaluate the connections to carrier infrastructure or equipment

identify current legislation relating to the design of installation of telecommunications equipment and connection to carrier services

evaluate the advantages of leasing and purchase options to assist in delivering cost effective solutions

identify and evaluate network and transmission equipment

outline network topologies, and interface and interconnect solutions

outline work health and safety (WHS) issues that need to be built into a plan, with consideration of:

electrical safety

materials handling

physical hazards

confined spaces

heights

lifting

describe and evaluate the power requirements and electrical safety aspects of the installation plan

describe typical performance parameters and typical faults that may be encountered in client equipment and related connection and transmission media

identify various test equipment types suitable for tests to be made

identify warranty information for equipment supplies and contractor work guarantees.

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 telecommunications – project management field of work and include access to:

a telecommunications operations site with relevant technology and infrastructure

relevant databases, legislative requirements and other project related documentation

organisational documentation relating to equipment, warranties, leasing, contracts and audits.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.

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.
