Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to manage and control risks in an information and communications technology (ICT) project within small, medium or large organisations.It applies to individuals who may be required to apply a high level of business, technical and risk management skills to ensure that project risks are managed and controlled in accordance with organisational risk management strategies.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 ICT project management field of work and include access to:

industry software packages

project documentation

relevant organisational documentation.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Identify project risks
  • Review project planning documents, organisational risk policies and relevant lessons learned from earlier projects
  • Identify major project risks and potential sources of project risk
  • Establish relevant risk management processes and procedures
  • Develop a project risk management plan, including a risk register in consultation with stakeholder and obtain sign-off
       
Element: Treat project risks
  • Assess the likelihood of the risk occurring and the resulting consequence of the risk
  • Develop risk-response strategies and contingency measures as appropriate
  • Incorporate risk-response actions and contingency measures into the risk register and project schedule in consultation with stakeholders and obtain sign-off
       
Element: Monitor project risks
  • Undertake activities to monitor the risk factors or identified events as the project progresses
  • Establish formal risk reviews at appropriate intervals or project milestones
  • Update risk register and raise project change requests to update baseline project schedule as required
       


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.

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.
