Unit of Competency ICTNWK514 - Model preferred system solutions
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to fit a physical model into the design phase of the methodology.It applies to individuals working as system designers who are required to model proposed solutions.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 network industry and include access to:

acceptance criteria

client requirements

future organisational business processes

organisational and process goals

project budget

project deliverables

standards for model development

technical specifications

a test plan.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: 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
       
Element: 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
       
Element: 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
       
Element: 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
       


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.

summarise current industry-accepted hardware and software products and standards

explain modelling techniques and methodologies

outline a range of development and test tools

explain systems development methodologies.

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.
