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. Determine job resource requirements | 1.1 Job requirements are correctly interpreted from client brief or job information 1.2 Scope of required human, financial and physical resources is identified based on job information 1.3 Costs are estimated according to chosen pricing models and estimating practices 1.4 Budget plans are established and checked against estimations to deliver accurate, documented costing 1.5 Scheduling and time management is integrated into project planning and monitoring 1.6 Human resources are incorporated within project framework 1.7 Business transactions are undertaken ethically and according to law |
2. Plan digital production workflow | 2.1 Workflow stages are identified to determine sequencing 2.2 Workflow is sequenced for optimum production efficiency and job quality 2.3 Technical processes and protocols are integrated into the workflow 2.4 Need for new sequences is evaluated according to job requirements and feasibility tests 2.5 Evaluation mechanisms are incorporated at key stages of work 2.6 Workflow is documented according to project needs and enterprise requirements |
3. Monitor workflow and resources | 3.1 Work processes and progress are monitored against plans 3.2 Colleagues are assisted to achieve outcomes with technical and other support 3.3 Actual job costs are documented and monitored against budgets, and variations are communicated to appropriate people 3.4 Need for variations is identified and adjustments made as required |
4. Finalise job | 4.1 Job is completed with required outcome achieved within designated timeframes and costs 4.2 Estimated and actual costs are reviewed and used to inform future planning 4.3 Efficiency and quality of outcomes are evaluated and findings incorporated for future planning |
Evidence of the ability to:
manage digital production workflow for at least THREE different publications, including print and electronic:
determine required level of resource from client requirements
accurately cost the work
complete workflow planning
monitor workflow
manage resources
finalise jobs with required outcome and within required timeframe and budget.
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 key considerations for management of a digital workflow process:
project planning and scheduling requirements
costing and resources issues
communication and approvals processes
work sequencing
work monitoring processes
content management
file management – naming, storage, saving, archiving
editing processes
distribution
outline costing/estimating methods for digital work
identify elements that can be adjusted in estimations if they consistently do not match costs
identify work health and safety (WHS) concerns to consider when planning production
describe key aspects of monitoring workflow and resources:
what needs to be monitored to maintain standards
who is involved in monitoring
role of keeping accurate production records
review of production records and actual costs
outline common causes of failure in each area of work monitored, and procedures to minimise the effects of these
discuss processes to make improvements that impact quality standards
outline evaluation and review processes for digital work
describe features of computerised production monitoring systems used to accurately assess costs.
