Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Review and confirm information requirements and existing models
   • Review information requirements and clarify areas that are not understood
   • Identify organisational standards for developing models, and check the model development method for consistency with organisational goals
   • Identify assumptions and incorporate into modelling process
   • Identify goals and resolve into tasks required to be performed to obtain goals
   • Define internal tasks needed to perform identified goals
2. Resolve conflicts and inconsistencies
   • Identify missed opportunities arising from previous and current model development
   • Identify bottlenecks, overlooked functionalities and other issues, and resolve with client input as required
3. Build and test model
   • Develop model based on existing architecture
   • Document details of model, according to agreed project or organisational standards
   • Develop model according to project deliverables and acceptance criteria within determined timeframe and project constraints
   • Test model against the test plan
   • Document test data to ensure that test procedures validate performance of the model
4. Ensure that the model represents a workable solution
   • Ensure a consensus view of key information and communications technology (ICT) stakeholders is represented in model
   • Ensure model is checked by key ICT stakeholders to confirm common knowledge of the model and the proposed solution
   • Submit model to appropriate person for sign-off

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

use two or more development tools

develop specific areas of a system for further information or to confirm a software or hardware direction

identify opportunities for expansion of the model

test the model to a test plan.

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