Unit of Competency ICTICT814 - Develop cloud computing strategies for a business
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to develop a cloud computing strategy for establishing cloud computing services as a key business enabler.It applies to senior management, including strategic business analysts and chief information officers.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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 general information and communications technology (ICT) industry, and include access to:

a workplace of sufficient complexity, to enable the required level of analysis to be carried out in relation to current business processes, and possible future cloud computing solutions

relevant enterprise strategic documentation, including:

strategic planning

financial

ICT infrastructure

enterprise objectives and policies.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Analyse the existing business ICT system assets
  • Review the business assets and identify the most appropriate for possible cloud deployment
  • Evaluate each asset’s risk tolerance to the business, for possible cloud deployment
       
Element: Select the most suitable deployment and/or delivery model for each asset
  • Map each asset to potential cloud deployment models
  • Review and select the most relevant delivery model for each asset
  • Document the security risks to the business as a result of using the identified deployment and delivery models
       
Element: Develop a cloud implementation strategy
  • Develop a cloud implementation plan, incorporating the most appropriate deployment and delivery models, in line with the enterprise requirements
  • Develop a costing for the technology requirements of the implementation proposal
  • Develop processes for the periodic review of the cloud service metrics, associated with the implementation proposal
       


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.

3.2 Develop a costing for the technology requirements of the implementation proposal

3.3 Develop processes for the periodic review of the cloud service metrics, associated with the implementation proposal

Evidence of the ability to:

analyse and document, the effectiveness of existing cloud computing deployment and delivery models

research the cloud computing options in the marketplace

develop a cloud computing implementation strategy that meets the enterprise needs.

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:

research and synthesise information to determine and document current business processes, and cloud service sources

define and employ coaching, mentoring and teamwork skills to ensure the support of cloud computing strategies as an ongoing initiative

investigate and analyse cloud computing concepts, processes and trends

synthesise the relevant enterprise policies and legislation that affect business operations, specifically privacy legislation

discriminate between the legal, ethical and security issues relating to cloud computing

evaluate organisational change-management theory and methods

determine the risk tolerance issues, as they relate to the development of cloud computing strategies

investigate and critically analyse, the methods of deploying cloud technology strategies

investigate and critically analyse, the security issues relevant to a business.

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.
