ICTPRG513
Coordinate the build phase of an ICT system

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to coordinate the day-to-day management activities during the build phase, and coding of, an information and communications (ICT) system, according to the design specifications and project plan.

It applies to individuals in the software development area who are required to synchronise the coding activities of a new system.

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.

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

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

1. Prepare the work

1.1 Review the specifications and standards for the project

1.2 Review the project documentation for the development environment

1.3 Analyse, and confirm, that the development environment matches the project documentation and meets the standards

1.4 Select the development tools

2. Coordinate the work

2.1 Determine the work units based on the design

2.2 Delegate the work units to the appropriate developers

2.3 Brief the developers on standards, procedures, schedules and other requirements

2.4 Implement project management techniques to ensure that all tasks are completed on time, and according to standards, and the specification

3. Coordinate the development environment

3.1 Implement and test the changes to the development environment, and document the outcomes

3.2 Update the project documentation for the development environment

Evidence of the ability to:

analyse and confirm that the development environment matches the project documentation, and meets standards

select the development tools

determine work units based on the design

delegate work units to appropriate developers

brief developers on standards, procedures, schedules and other requirements

implement project management techniques to ensure that tasks are completed on time, and according to requirements

implement and test changes to the development environment, and document the outcomes

update the project documentation for the development environment.

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:

identify the client business domain, to inform the system build

describe the client-server architecture

describe the current industry-accepted coding in a recognised language, including features and capabilities

summarise current industry-accepted database management system (DBMS) modelling techniques

identify and describe current industry-accepted hardware, and software products, including their general features and capabilities

describe the principles of contemporary databases development, and their application

describe the quality assurance practices required for the build phase of information and communications technology (ICT) systems.

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 programming and software development industry, and include access to the:

design specification

software requirement specifications

system requirements

technical specifications

version-control standards.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Submission 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)

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.
