Work is performed under limited or minimum supervision with general guidance on progress and outcomes of work. It involves the use of discretion and judgement for self and others when managing workplace information systems.

A range of opportunities may be used to develop the work area and to support the development of information systems and appropriate strategies to deal with contingencies and to encourage the achievement of the organisations goals and key performance objectives by the work area and the individuals and teams within it.
